Counting the number of times mIRC is started isn't really a valid example. Yes, you'd have 1 extra time, but then again, mIRC is running when the script is first loaded, so you might as well count that. After all, you're counting how many times mIRC is started and if you don't count that first time the script is loaded, then you are missing one time. You're already missing all previous times mIRC has been started, but you can't get those. You might as well at least get the time it's running when the script starts, though. There isn't any reason to ignore that one.
And I don't think this is a case of "can it be scripted" anyhow. The suggestion is FOR a scripting option. The fact is, it's already doing what it should be doing. I'm not seeing a good reason for any changes. You can easily tell the difference using a variable.
