Of course (ill try to do my best smile )

$chan(#) is a mIRC identifier - it has a few properties, like .topic

$chan(#).topic will return the topic of the channel between the parentesis.

You can find the rest of the properties in mIRC's help file, along with a better explanation by typing /help window identifiers while on mIRC.

I hope this turns out understandable :P
