How do I bind a charge power with text?

I have an Inferno toon with Pyre. And I wish to bind a key to charge this power and while charging let my toon say something. But since it's a charge power I'm afraid I won't be able to bind it in a way that holding down the key isn't required. I'm thinking that holding down the key to charge the power will cause the toon to repeat the text over and over until I release the key.

Any thoughts on this?

    To directly answer you, let's assume PYRE is in the #4 spot. For the game engine, that would be slot (4 minus 1 =) 3. So, to say something along with your chargeup, do the following:

    /bind 4 "local Time to make more S'mores! $$ powertrayexec 1 3"

    The second half of the above causes the power in SLOT 3 (4 on your view) to chargeup OR maintain.
    .

    Also, if you don't wanna say that every time you use the power (Can annoy some hardcore alert farmers), Just use Alt+ a letter key like I do. For example:
    /bind alt+m "powerslotexec 1 3$$say Who's hungry? I'm makin' barbecue!!"

    Then when you hit alt and m, it activates. The "local" portion isn't needed, as it auto-changes to local.
