Of cause, i could set global variables with /set %$dname and fill it with $nick, but i'm not a real fan of global variables. Btw, why would you rename an /window if you're able to retitle it?


/dialog -m Name Dialog

Means
Code:
dialog new_table {
  title "ZOMG"
  size -1 -1 101 83
  option dbu
  button ":-)", 1, 2 2 98 80
}


//dialog -m Blah ZOMG | echo -a $dialog(1)

Assuming that you only have this dialog open, it will return Blah.

basically, this means the dialog is RENAMED.

Tips, if you have internal dialog events, better use an alias like the one you mentions
Code:
alias zomg {
  dialog -m $iif($1,$+(zomg,.,$v),zomg) zomg
}


Then you need to use
On *:doialog:zomg.*:... as your event trigger.

In addition, renaming the dialog via command line is kinda useless, as mIRC provides this feature already, permanently renaming a dialog will require accessing the script file after searching for the dialog, changing, saving and such.

If you need to rename the dialog temporarily, use mIRC's normal way. Other than that? do it manually.
