My main objective is to remove join/quit messages for SPECIFIC users. Perhaps there is an easier way to do this? So far, I have something like an event handler: on :TEXT:** TrAnSiEnT:# ;clear line Where TrAnSiEnT is the name of the offending user. My first line of irc script ever, so do I have the right idea?

Once a line appears in your mIRC window (channel or private, is irrelevant) you can't remove the line from your window. For joining you want the ON JOIN event. For parting you want the ON PART event. For quitting (which is when a person leaves the network and all channels) you want the ON QUIT event. To halt the default display you use the haltdef command. Example code: Code: on ^*:join:#:{ if $istok(list of nicks you don't want to see the join information for space separated,$nick,32) { haltdef } }

I'm more of a C programmer, by education, so this scripting business has always been tricky for me. I hope that by learning something like mIRC I can do some fun things, so you'll probably all hear from me again :P One question, the join/quit messages generated by your client (or is it the server?), they are not "text" messages as well? I figured, based on how they're displayed, that they would be similar if not identical to the /me messages.

Each of those items has it's own event. The ON TEXT event, which monitors regular messages does not recognize these messages as text, as they are part of different events. These are different from information that is echoed, as echoed information is not sent to the server but events are.
