So, every-now and then we all need to use (well, we CAN use) recursion, but since mIRC doesn't natively support it, we go around it.

Those of us who presist, make another alias which simply calls the first alias.

Why can't mIRC have a proper recursion embbeded in it?

An alias cannot call itself recursively mainly because this seems to cause more problems for users than it solves.

This has been suggested in the past too and the whole subject has been discussed extensively, please use Search before making a suggestion or report, making sure to expand the date range to more than 1 year.

It does have resursion in signals, it's an old post, so you may have missed it if you did try to search.
