Example: Create a file named "ip.txt" in mirc directory, then //echo -a $isfile(ip.txt) returns $false . 2. chatlink port First, in mirc Options dialog, IRC -> Catcher -> chat links, uncheck "Confirm requests". Then, click on a chatlink, mirc will connect to a wrong port number.

The name "ip" may be restricted as a device name but a file called "ip.txt" (or even just "ip" for that matter) in any given directory is perfectly acceptable in Windows. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
