Hi starbuck, thanks for linking to that thread. I am still very very confused, can someone kindly please help me further?

so the issue is with mirc 6.3 on vista.

say i have a folder in my script directory called 'scripts' and in this folder i have script1.mrc

if i use $mircdir in script1.mrc will it NOT return the script directory folder? but it WILL return the scriptdirectory/scripts folder?? right? on my xp, im using $mircdir in all my scripts, and these scripts are in a subfolder ... so this would be a problem on vista?
