Sometime around the mid-1990s, mIRC changed scripting style/syntax to a more 'programmer' style with brackets and such instead of one-liner ON JOINs and such. I come from mIRC 4.72 (16 bit) era and prefer it over any of the newer and thus newer scripting styles in use. I was pretty sure the proper syntax for 4.72 was something like: 1:ON JOIN:nickname:#channel:/msg $nick hello $nick ....or 1:ON TEXT:hello:#channel:/msg $chan hello $nick .....etc but I can't get anything to run properly, even with Listening ticked on.

I have a copy of the mirc.hlp from 4.72 Here if you'd like to read through it. I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
