The '.nick' property at the end of '$ialchan()' tells it to return only the nickname instead of the full address.

$ialchan(*ccoo*!*@*,#chan,1) == Raccoon!fuzzy@woodland.critter

$ialchan(*ccoo*!*@*,#chan,1).nick == Raccoon

same as

$gettok($ialchan(*ccoo*!*@*,#chan,1),1,33) == Raccoon


Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
