Yeh, it's a shame that MY raw * dosnt work
It doesn't? To my knowledge raw numerics/events are returned by the network, so unless you have a script that disables these, and that script is loaded before the one I posted, my code should work fine.
If this is not the case, can you provide an sample of what you do get using the /whois command with the output being directed to a custom window via the /debug command.
