Is this possible? I have no idea how to go about doing this. Thanks. Bears on Patrol Chat

I didn't realize that there would be a Windows command to do that and that made it really easy. Any of you are welcome to come to the server anytime. I don't really have anyone there yet. I'd like the server to have channels for discussion/help about mIRC scripting and Visual Basic programming. I have two channels registered there at the moment (#chat and #VB). I might add one later, probably called #mIRC, just for mIRC scripting if I see that people are going to be on the server, but for now, either of the channels are ok for discussion. The server is braab.myftp.org. Thanks again Bears on Patrol Chat
