When you start the program, a mIRC Options box will open. It will look like this:
If the server you want, in this case vcsun, is in the box and you have filled in the requested information, click on Connect to IRC server:
Once you are connected to the vcsun server, a welcome message will appear in the status box.
The mIRC Channel Folders dialogue box will appear. If it does not appear, select it by its icon and it will open.
To have it automatically open when you join lrc, enable the Pop up folder on connect option at the bottom of the window.
To add a channel, type the name where requested and click on Add. The name will then appear with the other channels that have been entered. To join a channel, highlight that channel from the list and click on Join.
As soon as you Join the channel, a channel dialogue box will open with the name of the channel at the top and the names of the people on that channel listed on the right.
Whoever starts the channel will have a special sign in front of their name. This indicates that they are the Ops.
Logging the Channel
To enable the logging, click on it and a check will indicate it is on.
To permanently set the logging feature, from the File|Options menu,
select the Logging tab:
In the Automatically log area, select the options you want to automatically log when you connect to the server. You can log channels and direct (DCC) chats.In the area below that, the location of logs and buffers saves: indicate where you want those logs to be recorded. I suggest you create a separate log directory before you start logging activity.
Although it is recommended that you configure mIRC to automatically log your Private Chats or DCC and the Channels, there is a way to capture a session if it has not been automatically logged. From the Channel or DCC window left mouse click on the icon in the top left corner

This box will ask you to indicate where you want the log to be saved. During the install process, a log subdirectory was created and that will be the default. Unless you want to save it to a different directory leave that. The file name automatically given will be the name of the channel or DCC that you are saving. Once again, unless you want to assign a different name, accept the default. Remember, when a log is saved in mIRC it will append to the existing log and not overwrite if there is an existing log with for that channel or DCC.
Viewing the Log
You can view and delete any log files which are listed in your Logs and Buffers directory. From this File|Options dialogue window, you can view and delete any log files which are listed in your logs and buffers directory by simply highlighting it and select either View or Delete.
Each time you return to a channel or chat, the log is appended to and not erased.Take a look at a log from two Virtual Office sessions.

mIRC is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for Windows, created in 1995. It is a fully functional chat utility, and its integrated scripting language makes it extensible and versatile.[3]
mIRC has been described as 'one of the most popular IRC clients available for Windows.'[3] It has been downloaded over 40 million times from CNET's Download.com service.[4] In 2003, Nielsen/NetRatings ranked mIRC among the top ten most popular Internet applications.[5]
History[edit]
mIRC was created by Khaled Mardam-Bey. He began developing the software in late 1994, and released its first version on February 28, 1995.[6]
Mardam-Bey states that he decided to create mIRC because he felt the first IRCclients for Windows lacked some basic IRC features. He then continued developing it due to the challenge and the fact that people appreciated his work. The author states that its subsequent popularity allowed him to make a living out of mIRC.[2] mIRC is shareware and requires payment for registration after the 30-day evaluation period.[7]
The developer states that version 5.91 is the final one to support 16-bit Windows;[8] 6.35 is the last to support Windows 95, NT 4.0, 98, and ME. The current version supports Windows XP and later.[9]
Main features[edit]
mIRC has a number of distinguishing features. One is its scripting language which is further developed with each version. The scripting language can be used to make minor changes to the program like custom commands (aliases),[3] but can also be used to completely alter the behavior and appearance of mIRC. Another claimed feature is mIRC's file sharing abilities, via the DCC protocol, featuring a built-in file server.[10]
Starting with mIRC 7.1, released on July 30, 2010,[11]Unicode and IPv6 are supported.
mIRC scripting[edit]
mIRC's abilities and behaviors can be altered and extended using the embedded mIRC scripting language. mIRC includes its own GUI scripting editor,[3] with help that has been described as 'extremely detailed'.[3]
mIRC scripting is not limited to IRC related events and commands. It is Turing complete. There is support for COM objects, calling DLLs, sockets, canvass drawing, input device reading, regular expressions, and dialog boxes, among other things. This allows the client to be used in a variety of ways beyond chatting, for example as an IRC bot, a media player, a web HTMLparser, or for other entertainment purposes such as mIRC games.[citation needed]
Due to the level of access the language has to a user's computer — for example, being able to rename and delete files — a number of abusive scripts have been made. One example of abuse was that executed with the $decode identifier which decodes a given encoded string.[12][13] The issue was reported in August 2001; even five months later, users were still being reported as having fallen prey, tricked into executing commands on their systems which result in 'handing control of [their] mIRC over to somebody else'.[14] This led to changes being made in mIRC version 6.17: according to the author, $decode is now disabled by default, and various other features which can be considered dangerous are now lockable.[11]
