OK, your original post had incomplete information. It's generally assumed that a bug report is reporting a problem in a fairly recent mIRC version. I can confirm that 6.35 does have the behavior you described when using the commands I gave in my post, and has nothing to do with the Turkish codepage. You're saying "current error", when it's actually an error in a version published 12 years ago. There are also other changes in behavior between 6.35 and the current version, and many of those actually are as a result of the switch from codepages to unicode support in the newer versions.
