After some digging around in the help file and a little reading elsewhere, it has come to my attention that there isn't any way to control the "offical" (non-custom) windows in mIRC, nor is it possible to manipulate the settings in mirc.ini via script.

While the latter is only a minor issue for me, I feel that the former is quite important. I was actually quite surpirsed to not see this functionality in mIRC already. So what I'm proposing is that there be put in place a way to control the "offical" mIRC windows (Status, Channel, DCC Chat/Send/Get, Query, etc. windows) via script, much in the same way custom windows are now controlled via /window & $window.

I'm sure this feature would have many uses, but my own is simply that I would like to write a script that dynamically positions the "offical" windows based on several different criteria.

If I'm wrong about the functionality not being there, then someone *please* correct me. I will happily take the flames if only to be pointed in the right direction smile .
