//echo -as Bah - Only goes to the status window.

I noticed that too,
in trying to echo a filtered notify to active chan AND status
but i just made two seperate identical lines one with -a and one with -s and left it at that.
Now im curious if it is a bug, or if it's just not something that you're supposed to be able to do.

It's just something you aren't supposed to do. cool

It's always been that way, so I think it's not so much a bug as a limitation.
You can echo to active OR status OR message window OR <name> but not combinations of. frown

Just nest commands. Make them separate.

//echo -a Bah
//echo -s Bah

Rat, I dont see how we wouldnt be able to do it. And, Kain, why nest them? I mean, sure, I could, but it should be able to do that. Something Khaled may wanna fix/make possible if you ask me.

1.
well lets just then say RTFM:
Quote:

/echo [color] [-deghiNtsaqlbfnmr] [#channel|[=]nick] <text>
Prints text in the specified window using the specified color (0 to 15).

As you can see, it doesn't say windows, it clearly says /echo prints stuff to window, one, single window.

2.
What if active window is status window? Should mIRC echo once or twice if your suggestion goes trough? Most prefer once, but there's always some sick bastard out there wanting it to work as you specified and echo twice, and then (s)he would come here and start another useless thread like this one.

If you specifiy both, I dont see why it shouldnt work.

Either way, it's not a bug it's a missing feature.
