There are quite a lot of possible scenario, the easiest one being you want to count how many time you started mIRC.
Imo, people should stop discussing the "can it be scripted" part and should rather give their opinion about the "is it a good suggestion". I agree with starbucks_mafia.
I'd prefer to see the on start event trigger when mirc starts only. But people would rage and complain of backwards compatibility with that suggestion, event though there is an on load event.
It probably has been done this way because most of the time you load a code that include an on start event, you want that event to be triggered, but this is most of the time, I agree we should have a way to tell the difference
