no that only allows you to retrieve what you passed as argument for some odd reason.

Code:
alias download {
  clear
  .comopen xml msxml2.xmlhttp
  var %x $com(xml,open,1,bstr,get,bstr,http://www.mirc.com,bool,-1) $&
    $com(xml,send,1) $com(xml,responseText,3,bstr* txt,hello)
  echo -a argv[0]: $com(xml,txt)
  comopen ado adodb.stream
  echo -a Mode: $com(ado,Mode,4,int,3)
  echo -a Type: $com(ado,Type,4,int,2)
  echo -a Open: $com(ado,Open,3)
  echo -a WriteText: $com(ado,WriteText,3,bstr*,txt)
  echo -a Save: $com(ado,SaveToFile,3,bstr,C:\test.txt,int,2)
  echo -a Close: $com(ado,Close,3) - $com(xml,txt)
  cc
  run C:\test.txt
}
alias cc {
  if ($com(xml)) comclose xml
  if ($com(txt)) comclose txt
  if ($com(ado)) comclose ado
}

I dont see much use for $com(xml,txt) personally.

what you would expect here is to be able to use $com(xml,responseText,3,bstr* txt)
$com(ado,WriteText,3,bstr*,txt)
much like the syntax for dispatch however since mIRC cannot make a distinction between txt the string and txt the object a new keyword might be appropiate
$com(ado,WriteText,3,var txt)
where var is most likely not a good name but you catch my drift.
