That is Beautiful!
It cleared up every confusion i had.... the help files gave me the idea of how they work , just not the extent of how they work.
And one more quick question.
The asc value for  would be? Because i want to NOT adjust it if it already has an existing color code in it. And offhand the ctrl + C command and the ctrl + b command both leave that tell tale box... there has to be a difference between them for mIRC to alter the text accordingly. What is it?
