mIRC supports allmost all IRCii commands that make sense in mIRC and/or windows... Commands like Set_blabla are not supported cause Windows uses pull down menus and option dialogs to change settings.

(...... no people, not -as- but next to the toilet paper..)

--------------------------------

The syntax used in this file is the one DOS uses too.... look in your DOS help files to get a gooood explaination

{x}, {x|by or <x|y> means you HAVE to use one or more of the choises

x|y means use x OR y

x,y means use x and/or y

[x] means you can but dont have to use this parameter

[-a] Will force the item to be added to the list (not toggled)

[-r] Will force the item to be removed from the list (not toggled)

[-q] Will force the operation to happen quietly (no report in any window)

EXAMPLE :

/echo <N> [nickname|#channel|status] {text}

Displays the given text only to YOU on the given place in color N {1..6}.

in this case you ALWAYS have to give a number N in the range 1,2,3,..6.

and you HAVE to give the 'text'

and you -can- give a nickname (to display the text in a private window)

OR a channel name OR the word 'status' to display in your status window..

EXAMPLE :

/auto [on|off|nickname|address] (the auto-op function)

here your possibilities are

/auto to ; see its status

/auto on ; to set it on

/auto off ; to set it of

/auto nickname ; to toggle autoopping of a person by nick

/auto address ; to toggle autoopping of a person by address
