	The channel id returns correctly in both cases.		The channel id returns correctly in both cases.

			It's also worthy to note the strange behaviour of (at least) Trade channels. Login to a city, GetChannelName("Trade - City") will return the channel number it's on. Step outside the city, you'll leave the channel yet making that call again will return the channel number you were on. As such, it's not entirely reliable for detecting if you're in a trade enabled zone.
