Larra L	mIRC, as all c/c++ coded apps, can easily retrieve the environment variables that system passes through arge ** (3rd param in main), so, I t would be a nice feature say... $envvar(1), $envvar(2) returning the name, or $envvar(name) returning true or false nice suggestion

One of those variables is %WINDIR%, which expands to the actual Windows dir. Here's the alias: Code: [color:green]; usage: $com(variable). The %'s around the name are NOT required.[/color] alias env { if * !iswm $1 { return } var %a = env $+ $ticks .comopen %a Wscript.Shell if $comerr { return } if $com(%a,ExpandEnvironmentStrings,3,bstr,% $+ $1%) && $com(%a).result != % $+ $1% { .comclose %a return $ifmatch } .comclose %a } To get the Windows dir, use $env(windir)
