I agree that mirc's help file should be updated, but only because it should be complete (or as complete as possible). While I realize it'd be a lot of work, I think the help file should even have a "soon to be decomissioned features" section with a "these are replacing those" list. That way, people know (to use an OLD example) that *1 being decommissioned AND is being replaced by $1-. This way it's blatent what's being replaced and with what. There's a lot of things we've mentioned on here that are not listed in the help file at all and people usually use this type of reply in a post:
"While it's not in the help file, THIS FUNCTION will do what you need it to." (replace THIS FUNCTION with a missing on)
