This comment seems to be aimed in my general direction, so...
Not once did i suggest it needed to be scripted !!
Well, your very first thread on this post included an on:start event, tsoglanos did likewise, and you replied to tsoglanos with another on:start event. I think most people would accept that remotes are scripting.
It seemed to me, however, that no-one had properly explained how to use the perform dialog - which the enquirer evidently knows how to reach - to solve the problem. My personal feeling, with which others may of course disagree, is that this is an easier route to resolving the problem than trying to explain about mIRC command line commands, aliases or remote scripts.
Kipling's line about
"there are five and twenty ways / of constructing tribal lays / and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS RIGHT"
(his Caps, not mine!) applies here - what's wrong with providing the widest possible range of answers so that the user can decide which they are most comfortable with?
