Yeah, well, I don't know much of anything about sockets.

I read the help section (not the first time I've read it, either) but I don't really know how to use this to do what I want. I would guess the first step is to use /sockopen to connect to... my own computer, on any port. Then what? I guess I use /sockwrite to send info to that connection, but what info do I send? Should I be sending something like /sockwrite (name) run iexplore...?

I think it's pretty clear I don't know what I'm doing, especially when it comes to sockets. :-D
