    have finished executing. You can use -n to make the script
    trigger immediately.

    on *:signal:name:echo Received signal: $signal Parameters: $1-

    The name can contain wildcards.

    with each call, and adding whatever is return by $id() to the
    popup menu. The returned value must be a one line definition
    format for a popup menu. The iteration ends when $id() returns
    no value.

    test {
      if ($1 == begin) return -
      if ($1 == 1) return Moo:echo Moo
      if ($1 == 2) return Cow:echo Cow

176.Added Multi-Server support. mIRC now allows you to connect to
    multiple servers at the same time.

    This feature required major internal changes to mIRC code and
    forced improvement of code in many areas which has hopefully
    resulted in a more stable/robust mIRC.

    Added "New server window" checkbox to connect dialog. To open
    a new server window without connecting to a server, you can
    check the "New Server Window" checkbox and press the OK button.

    Added "New Server Window" menu item to options toolbar button
    servers popup menu. You can also open a new server window by
    holding down the Shift key when you select a server from the
    popup menu.

    Added multi-server dialog to connect/options dialog.

    New commands and identifiers:

      $cid - returns server connection id for current script
      $wid - returns window id for current script

      $status - returns server connection status. Also returns
                "closing" during the on disconnect event if the
                status window being closed is the cause of the
                disconnection.

      $activecid, and $lactivecid.

      $scid(N)[.command], where N is a $cid value
      $scon(N)[.command], where N is the Nth connection

      If N = 0, returns total number of open status windows.

      You can also specify a property which is a command name
      and it will be called using that server connection.

      /scid <-rsatM | N> [command], where N is a $cid value
      /scon <-rsatM | N> [command], where N is the Nth connection

      If you specify a command, the connection id is set only for
      that command. The -r switch resets the connection id to the
      original id for that script.

      The -a and -tM switches can only be used if you specify a
      command.

         -a - perform the command on all connection ids.

        -tM - where M is an or'd value of 1 = server connected,
              2 = not connected, 4 = connecting, 8 = not connecting.
              The command is only performed if N matches the connect
              status of the connection id.

      Note: if you use a command that contains $identifiers, and
      you want the identifiers to be evaluated in the target
      connection, you must pass them as $!identifier to prevent
      them from being evaulated first in the current connection.

    Also added new properties to $window():

      .type - returns window type name

    And to $query(), $window(), $chat(), $send(), $get(), $chan(),
    and $timer():

      .cid  - server connection id
      .wid  - window id
      .hwnd - window handle

    Added /server -mn switches, where -m creates a new server window
    and connects, -n creates new server window without connecting.

    Misc. notes:

    Windows whose server connection has been closed are placed
    at the end of the switchbar list. This includes things like
    dcc send/get/chat, and custom windows.

    Everything in mIRC now has a unique id number, all windows,
    server connections, dcc sends/get/chats, etc.

    The tray icon displays the animation for the current active
    server connection, same goes for the Connect toolbar button,
    and File menu.

    Each server connection has it's own /play list, and the play
    dialog shows the play list for the current active connection.

    URLs list "Send To" menu, and Tray popup menu, show the network
    and nickname for each status window.

177.Added /timer -i switch, makes a timer auto-associate with the
    currently active server connection.

    The -i switch keeps the /timer alive across server windows,
    if a server window is closed, the /timer just picks a new one
    automatically.

    /timer now shows the associated network name for a timer.

    You can use $timer().anysc to check if it has the -i switch
    enabled.

178.on PLAYEND is now triggered at the end of each played file.
179.Extended /ignore, /protect, etc. handling.

    Changed display format in Control dialog listbox.

    /ignore, /protect, /aop, and /avoice now all by default
    include a network name, unless you use the -w switch.

    /ignore -l now displays the unignore time.

    /ignore -l, when you're not connected to a server, lists all
    ignores. When connected, it lists all ignores that apply to
    that connection.

    Added .network property to $ignore()/$protect/$aop()/$avoice().

    Also note that isaop, isavoice, isignore, and isprotect all
    apply to the current connection.

180.Added /window switches:

    When a @window is created, it is automatically associated
    with the current connection. If that connection is closed,
    the @window is associated with the next available connection.

    You can change this behaviour with /window -ivz:

    -i - makes a @window dynamically associate with the currently
         active connection. You can use $window().anysc to check
         if this setting is active.

    -v - closes window when associated status window is closed
         The on close event is triggered for the window.

         If this switch isn't used and the status window is
         closed, the @window is moved to the end of the switchbar,
         and is associated with the first available status window.

    -z - places window button at end of switchbar

181.The . prefix now makes /debug quiet. Extended /debug to allow
    output to a custom @window or filename.

    /debug [-cnpt] [N] [on | off | @window | filename]

    /debug -c off    closes associated @window
    /debug -n @moo   opens @window minimized
    /debug -pt       wrap or timestamp text
    /debug N @moo    use color N for text

    $debug returns name of debug file or @window.

    /debug now works independently for each server connection,
    indents lines if not wrapped, and prefixes each line with
    the server address, and <- and ->.

    /debug @window now also works with listbox @windows.

182.Active switchbar button now uses bold text and shaded background.
183.Using new path-splitting routines which affect eg. $nopath().
184.Auto-tile/cascade/arrange are no longer triggered when you close
    a desktop window.
185.Fixed switchbar/toolbar display glitch when mIRC window is sized
    to a very small height.
186.Fixed $findfile() bug when handling wildcards with numbers.
187.$chan is now filled for the on ctcpreply event if it was a channel
    ctcp message.
188.Ctcp messages that use an invalid format are now treated as plain
    text, and will trigger script events.
189.Added "Control+Tab uses switchbar order" to General dialog.

   and treats it as plain text.

   $hget(name/N,item, [&binvar])

   Assigns the result of a $hget() lookup to a &binvar.

   the identifier name, eg. $addtokcs().
62./filter -g switch now treats wildcard text as a regex expression.
63.Added /aline and /iline -n switch, doesn't add line if it already
   exists in window.
64.Added two new variable types to $com(), dispatch and unknown.

   These allow you to pass dispatch/unknown pointers as parameters
   in a $com() call, or to retrieve dispatch/unknown pointers from
   a $com() call, by reference.

   To pass a dispatch/unknown pointer as a parameter in $com(),
   specify the variable type as dispatch/unknown, and specify the
   name of an existing $com() connection as the value.

   To retrieve a dispatch/unknown pointer through a call to $com(),
   specify the variable type as dispatch/unknown with *, and assign
   it a variable name. When $com() returns, mIRC will create a new
   $com() item with that variable name and assign it the dispatch
   or unknown pointer.

   In the case of retrieving an unknown pointer, mIRC will extend
   it to a dispatch pointer if it can, allowing you to call it
   directly via $com().

   You can use $com().dispatch or $com().unknown to see if a pointer
   exists for that $com() item.

65.mIRC now treats mode format +k * as a hidden key on all servers,
   for servers that hide the key from non-ops.
66.Fixed /dcc send -l max cps bug.
67.Added "mp3 playing" to confirm section in IRC options dialog.
68.Added on *:unload:/command event, triggers only in the script that

   on unload event.

69.Added history listbox to Control+F find dialog.
70.Added /timer -pr switches, pause and resume a timer.
71.mIRC now waits 30 seconds before a re-connect attempt if the server
   says that you were throttled for connecting too fast. mIRC looks for
   the word "throttled" in the ERROR Closing Link server message.
72.Fixed /ignore -uN not resetting nick color list colors when ignore
   removed after N seconds.
73.Fixed ignore button in dcc send/chat dialogs not working.

   called to sort the filtered lines.
81.Added /cline -m switch, makes mIRC color a nick in channel messages
   with the /cline color.

   situations.
17.Log view dialog now maintains cursor position in listbox after
   you delete or merge files.
18.Added on 1:APPACTIVE:echo $appactive event, triggers when the
   mIRC active application state changes. $appactive is $true if
   any mIRC window is active.

   Also added on 1:ACTIVE:@#?=!*:echo $active $lactive event,
   triggers when a window in mIRC is activated. $lactive returns
   the previously active window. If the previous window is no
   longer open, $lactive returns $null.

19.Added on 1:AGENT:echo $agentname finished speaking! event.
20.Added new DDE Topic, EVALUATE, makes mIRC evaluate identifiers
   or variables in a line of text.
21.Added 'auto-minimize on join' option to channels folder edit
   dialog.
22.Control section in Options dialog has been moved to the Address
   Book dialog, and has been improved.
23.Added /ignore -d switch, ignores DCCs such as Sends/Chat/etc.,
   /ignore -t ctcp no longer ignores DCCs.

   the old formats are still supported for now.

   Added /avoice command, isavoice if comparison, and $avoice.

   Added identifiers $aop(address/N), $avoice(address/N), and
   $protect(address/N), all with .type property.

25.Channels which are auto-joined on an invite are now minimized
   on join.
26.Added Options section to IRC dialog with default flash settings
   for channel/query windows, and mIRC exit confirmation options.

   icon filename, index
29.Scrollbars can now handle up to 64000 lines in a window.
30.Fixed $timer().secs bug.
31.Changed max cps method in fileserver, now represents total max
   cps for all dcc sends combined. This also limits dcc sends
   initiated with /dcc send -l. If you use /dcc send -l0 this
   prevents a script-initiated dcc send from being limited.
32./ignore /aop /avoice /protect now allow you to properly remove
   #channels one by one with -r.
33.Added agent dialog speech option to avoid repeating channel
   name in channel messages/actions.
34.Can now use SendMessage() to communicate with 32bit mIRC:

   SendMessage(mHwnd, WM_MCOMMAND, cMethod, 0L)

   mHwnd         mIRC window, or Channel/Query/etc. window
   WM_MCOMMAND   WM_USER + 200
   cMethod       1 - As if typed in editbox
                 2 - As if typed in editbox, send as plain text
                 4 - Use flood protection if turned on
                     Can be or'd with 1 or 2
   Returns       0 if fails, 1 if successful

   SendMessage(mHwnd, WM_MEVALUATE, 0, 0L)

   mHwnd         mIRC window, or Channel/Query/etc. window
   WM_MEVALUATE  WM_USER + 201
   Returns       0 if fails, 1 if successful

   The application that sends these messages should create a
   mapped file named "mIRC" with CreateFileMapping(). When mIRC
   receives the above messages, it will open this file and use
   the data it contains to perform the command or evaluation.

   In the case of an evaluation, mIRC will output the results
   to the mapped file.

   The mapped file must be at least 1024 bytes in length.

35.Added Position Default Save/Forget menu items to system menu
   for Channel and Query/Chat windows.
36.Auto-tile/cascade no longer trigger if a window is opened in
   a minimized state.
37.mIRC now supports the numeric 005 tokens: CHANTYPES=# and
   PREFIX=(ohv)@%+ and can handle a dynamic set of channel and
   nick prefixes.

   mIRC assumes that @ is supported on all networks, any mode
   left of @ is assumed to have at least equal power to @, and
   any mode right of @ has less power.

   mIRC has internal support for @%+ modes.

   $nick() can now handle all mode letters listed in PREFIX.

   Also added support for CHANMODES=A,B,C,D token (not currently
   supported by any servers), which lists all modes supported
   by a channel, where:

     A = modes that take a parameter, and add or remove nicks
         or addresses to a list, such as +bIe for the ban,
         invite, and exception lists.

     B = modes that change channel settings, but which take
         a parameter when they are set and unset, such as
         +k key, and -k key.

     C = modes that change channel settings, but which take
         a parameter only when they are set, such as +l N,
         and -l.

     D = modes that change channel settings, such as +imnpst
         and take no parameters.

   All unknown/unlisted modes are treated as type D.

   When not connected to a server, mIRC uses default values
   of CHANTYPES=#& PREFIX=(ohv)@%+ CHANMODES=bIe,k,l

   Also added identifiers $chantypes $prefix $chanmodes.

   Notes:

   1. mIRC doesn't support @ or $ as a channel prefix, or $ as
      a nickname prefix, these are used internally by mIRC.

   2. Ircd coders should be aware that prefixes can change
      the way an IRC client behaves.

      eg. If a server uses the same prefixes for channels and
      nicknames, this could cause certain features in mIRC
      to behave oddly, eg. scripts, hotlinks, tab completion,
      etc. which, depending on the prefix, provide a different
      behaviour or interface in non-context situations.

38.Added support for the numeric 005 token: MODES=N where N is
   the number of items allowed per /mode change. Added $modespl
   identifier.
39.Fixed server port not being randomly selected on each new
   connection.
40.Fixed treelist in options dialog not scrolling to selected
   item in some situations when options dialog is opened.
41.Fixed local info server lookup bug, was failing if the irc
   server returned an ip address in a /userhost reply.
42.Added $var(%var,N) returns Nth matching variable name. You can
   use a wildcard for the variable name. If N is zero, returns
   total number of matching variable names. This searches both
   local and global variables. $var().value returns the value of
   the variable, $var().local returns $true/$false.
43.Added $rgb() 3dlight value.
44.Added support for numeric 005 WALLCHOPS token, mIRC will use
   /NOTICE @<channel> :<text> if this token is set, instead of
   using multiple targets.
45.DCC Get no longer offers resume option if incoming filesize
   is smaller than existing file.
46.$window().state and .icon return values for -2 now.
47.Fixed handling of /msg +#channel messages.
48.Changed behaviour of Notify dialog, no longer changes Add
   button to Update. When you edit an item it is automatically
   updated.
49.Fixed bug in DNS routine, might have caused a gpf in some
   cases where the address didn't resolve.
50.Added 'Show All' menu item to notify window popup menu.
51.Added 'Grayed text' item to Colours dialog, used to gray nicks
   in notify list.

   nick!user@host address by using the IAL. The address can use
   wildcards.
53.Added 'Position' menu to System menu of all windows.
54.Can now set a @window icon with /window @ iconfile [N].
55.Script editor editbox can now handle 64k of text in 32bit mIRC.
56.Added $uptime(mirc | server | system, N) returns uptime in
   milli-seconds for specified item. N is optional, if N = 1 it
   returns the same format as $duration(), if N = 2 returns same
   format but without seconds, and N = 3 returns seconds instead
   of milli-seconds.
57.Added $regex([name], text, re) to parse regular expressions.
   Returns N number of strings matched.

   The list of strings for a match are referenced through
   $regbr([name], N), N = 0 returns total number of strings.

   $regbr([name], N).pos returns a strings position in text.

   $regbr() remembers the results for up to 10 names. Each time
   you do a match with $regex(), and you specify a name, that
   name's previous results are overwritten with the new results.

   $regsub([name], text, re, subtext, %var) same as $regex() but
   performs a substitution, returns N number of substitutions
   performed, and assigns result to variable %var.

   If you don't specify a name, all identifiers use a default
   name which is overwritten with each call.

   Note: mIRC uses the PCRE library (www.pcre.org)

58.Fixed bug in $ctime() wasn't handling certain date formats.
59.Added support for ! not prefix in if statements for use with
   $identifiers and %variables, eg. if (!%moo) echo no cows
60.Added nick colors section to address book, allows you to assign
   colors to a nick/address which is used to color the nick in
   messages and in the channel nick list.

   The /cnick command allows you to add or remove items from
   the colour list:

     /cnick -raniovp [nick[!user@host]] [color] [modes] [levels]

   You can use /cnick -r nick/N to remove first item that matches
   nick in the nick color list or the Nth item in the nick color
   list.

   To add or refer to an item as Any nick you can use the * char
   as the nick, * char as the mode for any mode.

   Also added $cnick(N/nick, [M]), if N returns Nth item in list,
   with properties: color, modes, levels, anymode, nomode

   If you specify a nick, returns Nth position of item in list that
   matches nick. If nick doesn't match any items, returns zero.

   To get a nick's color, you can use $cnick(nick/N).color. If nick
   doesn't match any items in the list, returns 'Normal Text' color,
   or if M = 1, returns 'Listbox text" colour.

   You can specify %vars or $identifiers as the nick.

   Note: /cline over-rides color settings in the nick color list.
   You can use /cline -r to reset a nick to default color to make
   the nick color list apply to a nick.

61.Fixed bug in Tray popup menu handling.
62.Fixed DCC Send cps limit not working in DCC Server Fileserver.
63.Added /window -C switch, centers @window on creation.

   $readini(filename, [n], section, item)

   The old identifiers are still supported for now but no longer
   documented.

65.Added built-in ctcp flood protection for ctcp version, ping,
   finger, and time:

     5 second ignore all users for that type of ctcp
     10 second ignore that user for that type of ctcp

66.Added transparency support for desktop windows under win2k,
   options/display dialog.

77.Moved "Highlight nicks in messages" option to new nick color
   list dialog.
78.Added "Keep channels open" option to IRC/Options dialog, keeps

   returns "kicked" in this situation.
79.Added $hregex(name/N, retext, N), searches table for the Nth
   item which matches regular expression. Returns item name. You
   can use .data property if you want to match on the data of an
   item.

   transfer was succesful, $false otherwise.

82.Added scrollbar control support to custom dialogs:

   scroll "text", id, x y w h, style (top left bottom right
   horizontal range N)

   on 1:dialog:name:scroll:id:etc.

   The /did -c switch can be used to set the scroll position,
   you can use $did().sel to find current position.

   with the specified text. You can use $ial().mark to retrieve
   the mark.

   Changed /clearial to /ialclear, the old command is still

   $iif($server == $null,$style(3)) Server:
   .Motd:/motd
   .Time:/time

93.Added $input(prompt,N,title,text) identifier, prompts the user
   for input.

   prompt is the prompt text message.

   N can be a combination of values added together:

     1  - show input editbox
     2  - show input password editbox
     4  - ok button
     8  - yesno buttons
     16 - yesnocancel buttons
     32 - return $ok, $yes, $no, $cancel for buttons.

     By default, buttons return $true or $null, same as $?,
     If there is an input editbox, the ok/yes buttons always
     return the contents of the editbox.

     64, 128, 256, and 512 show the info, question, warning,
     and hand icons respectively.

   have experience with COM objects in order to use this feature.

   /comopen name progid

   This opens a COM connection to object progid eg. Excel.Application,
   and assigns the connection a name.

   /comclose name

   This closes the specified COM connection.

   /comreg -u filename

   This registers/unregisters a COM DLL with windows.

   $comerr

   This should be checked after a call to any COM command or
   identifier. Returns 1 if there was an error, 0 otherwise.

   $com(name,member,method,type1,value1,...,typeN,valueN)

   This calls a member of an open COM connection with the specified
   method and parameters.

     name   - connection name.

     member - member name.

     method - Combination of the following values added together:
              1 = DISPATCH_METHOD
              2 = DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET
              4 = DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT
              8 = DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF

     type   - the variable type, can be: i1, i2, i4, ui1, ui2, ui4,
              int, uint, r4, r8, cy, date, decimal, bool, bstr,
              variant, error.

              VB equivalents are: boolean, byte, currency, date,
              double, integer, long, single, string, variant.

              To make a variable by reference, use * in the type
              name, eg. i1*

              To assign a name to a variable for later reference
              after a call, append it to the type, eg. i1* varname

              When using a variant you must also specify the variable
              type after it, eg. variant bool.

     value  - the value assigned to the variable type.

     Returns: 1 = ok, 0 = fail.

   After you've opened a COM connection or made a call to $com() you
   can use the following forms of $com():

   $com(name/N)

     Returns: name if connection is open, or name of Nth connection.
              N = 0 returns number of open connections.

     Properties: progid, result, error, errortext, argerr

       progid - object name.

       result - the value returned by the COM object member after
                the call.

       error  - error value, if there was an error.

       errortext - error description associated with error.

       argerr - Nth argument that caused the error, if the error
                was due to an invalid variable type.

   $com(name/N,varname)

     Returns: value of the specified variable name

51.Improved support for DLLs via /dll and $dll().

   You can now keep a DLL loaded by including a LoadDll() routine
   in your DLL, which mIRC calls the first time you load the DLL:

     void __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall (*LoadDll)(LOADINFO*);

     typedef struct {
       DWORD  mVersion;
       HWND   mHwnd;
       BOOL   mKeep;
     } LOADINFO;

     mVersion contains the mIRC version number in the low and high
     words.

     mHwnd contains the window handle to the main mIRC window.

     mKeep is set to TRUE by default, indicating that mIRC will keep
     the DLL loaded after the call. You can set mKeep to FALSE to
     make mIRC unload the DLL after the call (which is how previous
     mIRCs worked).

   You can unload a loaded DLL by using:

     /dll -u <filename>

     $dll(N/filename) returns the list of loaded DLLs.

   You can also define an UnloadDll() routine in your DLL which
   mIRC will call when unloading the DLL to allow it to clean up.

   mIRC will automatically unload a DLL if it is not used for ten
   minutes, or when mIRC exits, UnloadDll() will also be called
   in these situations:

     int __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall (*UnloadDll)(int mTimeout);

     The mTimeout value can be:

     0   UnloadDll() is being called due to a DLL being unloaded
         when mIRC exits, or unloaded with /dll -u.

     1   UnloadDll() is being called due to a DLL not being used for
         ten minutes. The UnloadDll() routine can return 0 to keep
         the DLL loaded, or 1 to allow it to be unloaded.

52.mIRC will now properly parse server messages that aren't prefixed
   with a server address, and will use the server address prefix in
   numeric 001 for such non-prefixed messages.
53.Fixed bug in flood protection feature.
54.Nick changes now update nick in query window titlebars.
55.Added $server().pass property for server password.

   and network byte order.
66.Fixed bug in $isalias() not recognizing local -l aliases when
   called from the local script.
67./splay now supports .mp3 files, also added on MP3END event,
   $inmp3, and $mp3dir (folder can be specified in Sound requests
   dialog).

   Added $mp3(filename) identifier, with properties: album, title,
   artist, year, comment, genre, track, length, version, bitrate,
   variable, sample, mode, copyright, private, crc.

   The /splay command has also been extended to:

   /splay -wmpq [filename | stop | pause | resume | seek | skip] [pos]

   Where w = wave, m = midi, p = mp3, and q = queue for playing.

   If you specify [pos] value when playing an mp3, mIRC will play
   from that position, eg. /splay ipanema.mp3 1000

   You can seek to a position in an mp3 while it's being played with
   eg. /splay seek 1000

   You can skip the currently playing sound with /splay [-wmp] skip

   Extended $inwave, $inmidi, and $inmp3, with properties .fname,
   .pos, .length, eg. $inmp3.pos

   You can use the /vol -wmpvuN [volume] command to set the volume on
   your system for waves, midis, mp3s (same as waves), or -v which
   sets the master volume, range 0 to 65000. The -uN switch sets the
   mute, where N = 1 is on, N = 2 is off.

   You can use $vol(wave|midi|mp3|master) to get the current volume,
   and $vol().mute returns the mute setting.

   no longer affect the event in a following script.

   from a network path and will correctly use that path as root for

84.The D parameter in $round(N,D) is now optional.
85.Added identifiers to encode/decode %vars or &binvars:

     $encode(%var | &binvar, mubt, N)
     $decode(%var | &binvar, mubt, N)

   The last two parameters are optional.

   The second parameter consists of switches, where m = mime,
   u = uucode (default), b = &binvar, and t = text (default).

   The final encoded line is made up of 60-character chunks.
   You can specify N if you want mIRC to return the Nth chunk.
   N = 0 returns the total number of chunks in the line.

   If encoding/decoding a &binvar, the identifiers return the
   actual number of characters written to the &binvar.

   Encoding uses 33% more storage space.

86./query now displays address in titlebar if user is in IAL. The
   Message window now also displays the address in the titlebar for

    32bit. mIRC 16bit may continue to be developed, with bugfixes,
    where possible.

120.Added /timer -h switch, creates a multimedia timer. Only works in
    32bit mIRC. Also added $timer().mmt property.

    Since multimedia timers are a scarce resource, and cpu intensive,
    mIRC allocates one multimedia timer and uses it for all of your
    -h timers. In order to keep cpu usage down to a minimum, the
    delay of this timer is dynamically changed as /timers are created
    or destroyed so as to use the lowest common denominator delay.

    The moment you don't have any -h timers running, mIRC frees the
    multimedia timer. If mIRC is unable to allocate a multimedia
    timer, it uses the normal /timer -m millisecond timer.

121.Made changes to mouse leave event, should work better when used
    for drag events.
122.Channel nicklist and IAL routines now use hashtable lookups to
    speed processing.
123.mIRC now displays the "files changed" dialog if you try to exit
    mIRC while the editor dialog is open.
124.Fixed /window command not handling floating point values for
    x y w h paramters.
125.mIRC can now be run as a service under 95/98 by specifying
    -service on the shortcut command line.
126.Custom window menu/mouse events now process the script which
    created the /window before looking through other scripts.
127.Fixed bug in $dbuw and $dbuh not returning the correct values.
128.Added hash table support for scripting. A hash table can be
    created/destroyed/modified using:

      /hmake <name> <N>           -  create a new hash table size N
      /hfree <name>               -  destroy an existing hash table

      /hadd <name> <item> <data>  -  add an item
      /hdel <name> <item>         -  delete an item

    You can use -s with all commands to show output, and -w with
    /hfree and /hdel to make them treat the name or item as a wildcard
    to free all matching items.

    A hash table can store an unlimited number of items regardless
    of the N size you choose, however the bigger N is the faster it
    will work, depending on the number of items stored.

      /hload <name> <filename>    -  load table from a file
      /hsave <name> <filename>    -  save table to a file

    By default, these load/save plain text to a text file, with item
    and data on separate lines ($cr and $lf characters are stripped
    from text before saving). You can use -b to load/save binary files.
    You can also use -n to make them load/saves files as data only,
    with no items.

    /hsave also supports -o to overwite an existing file, and -a to
    append to an existing file.

    To reference the contents of a hash table, you can use:    

      $hget(name/N)        -  returns name of a hash table if it exists,
                              or returns the name of the Nth hash table.
                             .size property returns the size of table

      $hget(name/N,item)   -  returns the data associated with an item

    You can also reference the table as an index from 0 to N using
    $hget(name/N,N).item which returns the Nth item name in the table.
    If N is zero, returns the total number of items in the table. This
    method is provided as a convenience, it is not an efficient way to
    use the hash table.

    Note: the hash table is case-insensitive.

129.Changed $ial(mask,N) to make N optional (defaults to 1), and mask
    can now be just a nickname.
130.Can now use $did().seltext on a listbox/combobox to return the text
    of the first selected item.
131.Fixed $isdir() bug.
132.Added "Save and Log As" item to system menu, allows saving buffer
    and starting a log in one selection.
133.Fixed hotlink bug on ircx servers with .nick owner prefix.
134.mIRC no longer splits logs at midnight for chats, it only does this
    for channel logs now.
135.All matching mouse events in custom window menus are triggered now,
    previously mIRC was only triggering the first matching event and
    ignoring all remaining scripts.
136.Fixed dcc chat bug, initiating a dcc chat from behind a firewall
    wasn't working properly.
137.Fixed notify list focus bug.
138.mIRC now uses the "start in" folder in a shortcut icon as the
    root folder. Can override with -r command line switch.
139.Added $notify().addr property, works on watch-enabled ircds.
140.Fixed dcc send/get/chat time-out gpf bug.
