Mirc Scripting Help Please With Onjoin Issue

Hi everyone , i hope ive posted in the right place , i know nothing about mIRC , i have a single onjoin line and it works, but i want to make a change and i dont really know how, ive made a guess and it doesnt work, all i want it to do is NOT post when A nick comes in. The line is .....

on *:JOIN:#: { if ( freadbear isin $nick) {halt} { /msg $chan Hiya $nick } }

hmmm looking at it now is it supposed to be....?

on *:JOIN:#: { if ( freadbear isin $nick) {halt} } { /msg $chan Hiya $nick }

Any replies are greatly appreciated,

Thx, st.
