Clearly a /notice $nick command sends it to the $nick directly, whereas a /msg $chan sends it to the entire channel.


There's always /msg $nick too.

In anyevent, you can't use $chann or $chann!!. Try $chan $+ !


Indeed, $chann isn't an identifier, creat a custom one.. grin

Code:
alias chann {
  return $+($chan,$str($chr(33),2))
}


Which'll return the #mIRC!!
