damn.....
do u read what codemastr post:
-> the second one is "^k1codemastr" (ie, black text)
what he type ^k1 in the _POST_, MEANs to press ctrl+k and type 1 in _mIRC_
don't mean to type "^" and type "k" and type "1" in mIRC
ctrl+k is mIRC
but ^k is just used when we express "ctrl+k" in documents/helps/posts
ok?

and do your client support mIRC color code?
