Remember to change the part where I said path to new mIRC as this will write a couple of text files into your new mIRC directory. Code: alias getlists { write -c ignore.txt write -c protect.txt var %x = 1,%y = 1, %z = 1 while (%x <= $ignore(0)) { write Path of new mIRC folder\ignore.txt ignore $ignore(%x) inc %x } while (%y <= $protect(0)) { write Path of new mIRC folder\protect.txt protect $protect(%y) inc %y } } Once you have typed /getlists you should then type each of the following: /play -cs ignore.txt 10 /play -cs protect.txt 10 This plays the file, and will load all of your Ignored, Notified and Protected users from your old mIRC.
