is there any way of bypassing $os on older mirc versions (6.1x, 6.2x)

Any built-in alias can be overwritten just by defining your own.

not all
when i did

alias os { return bla }

it still bypasses it

Your're right, looks like the answer is 'no' then.

$identifier always call the built-in identifier if it exists, otherwise the custom identifier if it exists, $null otherwise.

$/identifier always call the custom identifier if it exists, $null otherwise.

$~identifier always call the built-in identifier if it exists, $null otherwise.

In any case, overriding a built in command/identifier is not a good idea, make $_os and use that if you can.

As far as the /help goes.. No.

/help Custom Identifiers



Create your own.
