   }

   If you don't specify a [menuid] for an item, it will use the last
   menuid that was created/used in a previous menu/item.

   on 1:dialog:name:menu:*:{
     echo 5 $dname $devent $did
   }

   You can use /did -ebcuadio to enable/disable, check/uncheck, append,
   delete, insert, and overwrite a menu item.

   To add an item to a menu you can use: /did -a name <menuid> <newid>
   <text>.

   To insert an item you must use: /did -i name <id> <newid> <text>
   where <id> is the item before which you want to insert an item.

   and has the -h setting.

   situations.
87.Added /showmirc -op switches, -o sets mIRC on top, -p removes

     http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/imedia/agent/agentdl.asp

   /gload <name> <filename | N | default>
   /gunload <name>

   /gshow <name> [x y]
   /ghide <name>

   /gmove <name> <x> <y> [speed]
   /gsize <name> <w> <h>

   /gtalk -kw <name> <text | <wavefile | text>>
          -k   - think text
          -w   - play wave file

   /gplay <name> <animname | N> [timeout]
   /gpoint <name> <x y>

   /gstop -c <name> [talk play]
          -c   - stops only the current anim/talk instead of all

   /gopts -bieq <name> <on off size pace hide>
          -b   - balloons: <on size pace hide | off>
          -i   - idle effects: <on off>
          -e   - sound effects: <on off>

   /gqreq <on off>
          - turns queuing of messages on or off, default on.

   $agentver   - returns Agent version, 0 if not installed
   $agentstat  - returns 1 if Agent ready, or 0 if busy/speaking

   $agent(name).name, fname, visible, x, y, w, h, ow, oh,
                speed, pitch, idle, effects, active, langid,
                balloon

   name    - the name you gave to this agent
   fname   - the filename of the agent, ie. merlin.acs, or "default"
             if you didn't specify a filename
   visible - returns $true or $false
   x,y,w,h - left/top position, width/height.
   ow, oh  - original width/height
   speed   - speaking speed
   pitch   - speaking pitch
   idle    - if idle behaviour is on or off
   effects - if sound effects are on or off
   active  - if this agent is active/topmost
   langid  - language id of system
   balloon - current setting: on off size pace hide

   $agent(N).char

   char    - returns filename of Nth available agent, if you specify 0
             returns total number of installed agents.

   $agent(name,N).anim, line

   anim    - returns the names of the animations available for playing
             for this agent. If you specify 0, returns the total number
             of animations. If you specify N, returns the name of the
             Nth animation.

   line    - returns the list of lines currently queued to be spoken
             for this character. If you specify 0, returns total number
             of queued lines. If you specify N, returns the Nth line.

   You can also use tags in /gtalk in <text> which may be recognized by
   the text-to-speech engine, these are a few:

   \spd=nnn\      - set speed of spoken text
   \pit=nnn\      - set pitch of spoken text
   \vol=nnn\      - set volume of spoken text
   \chr="string"\ - where string is normal, monotone, or whisper
   \ctx="string"\ - address, email, unknown
   \emp\          - emphasize next word
   \pau=nnn\      - pause speech nnn milliseconds
   \rst\          - reset settings to default

   $notags(text)  - removes the above tags from text, but only if the
                    tags are correctly written as above.

   Notes:
   1. mIRC queues all requests and plays them one after the other
      to ensure that even if you use multiple agents at the same
      time, all messages will be heard, and all agents will act in
      the order that you requested.

      You can turn queuing on/off using /gqreq <on | off> on the
      fly.

   2. You can't load more than one of the same agent, ie. if you
      load Genie, you can't load a second Genie. You can however
      load Genie, Merlin, Peedy, and any other custom characters
      all at the same time.

   3. Looping animations prevent an agent from doing anything else
      until you /gstop the agent. The [timeout] value in /gplay
      allows you to specify a maximum time-limit for an animation
      after which it is automatically stopped, and the agent will
      then perform the remaining queued requests. If you don't
      specify a timeout value, the default is 5 seconds. If no
      play or talk requests are pending, the looping animation
      continues beyond the timeout until there are.

77.The $filename identifier can now be used in the on PLAYEND event
   to refer to the filename that was just played.
78.Added .logfile property to $chan(), $chat(), $query(), and
   $window(), returns logfile name if a log is open for the window,
   otherwise returns $null.
79.Changed channel central dialog, uses a tabbed dialog, and adds
   support for the +e and +I IRCnet channel modes. Also added a
   display section for redirecting channels events.
80.If you have Speech Recognition (SR) software installed, mIRC can
   be made to listen to voice commands by using:

     /vcmd -lc <on | off | sleep>
           -c      - clears the command list
           -l      - lists current commands
           sleep   - ignores commands temporarily

     /vcadd <command1,command2,...>
     /vcrem <command1,command2,...>

   If the SR software matches a word you've spoken to a word in your
   commands list, mIRC triggers the VCMD event:

     on 1:VCMD:<matchtext>:<*/#/?/@>:/echo 3 Recognized: $1-

   The $vcmd(N) identifier returns the Nth item in the voice commands
   list.

   $vcmdver  - returns version of SR software, $null if not installed

   $vcmdstat - returns 0 not available
                       1 currently off
                       2 ignoring commands
                       3 listening

   Notes:
   1. Your SR software may have very large speech files/dictionaries,
      it could take 10 or more seconds for your SR software to load
      or unload, and may be slow while processing your speech, causing
      short pauses in mIRC.
   2. Adding or removing commands can be done on the fly, however if
      your SR software is slow at updating the commands list, mIRC
      has to wait until it finishes.

81.Fixed custom dialogs DBU bug in dialog "size" item, was creating
   dialogs that were 10 or so pixels taller than they should be.
82.If a new window opens while you are in a dialog, eg. script editor,
   the new window no longer takes away the focus from the dialog.

   If you want to force a custom window to take focus, you can use the
   /window -a switch when creating the window.

83.The message highlight section in the Options/IRC dialog now matches
   against whole words, or words enclosed in non-alphabetic characters.
   You can use wildcards *? to make a word match non-whole words.
84./unset now evaluates variables inside [] brackets, this allows you to
   unset variables with dynamically created names:

   test  {
     set %a [ $+ b ] 1
     set %a [ $+ c ] 2
     set %a [ $+ d ] 3
     unset %a [ $+ b ] %a [ $+ c ] %a [ $+ d ]
   }

85./part can now close an open channel window while not connected.
87.Changed behaviour of /disconnect and /quit, can now cancel a connect
   in progress.
88.You can now remove a nick from your Tab Key list with Control-D.
89.Added $mklogfn(filename) identifier, returns the filename format that
   the logging feature uses, $mknickfn(nickname) fixes a nickname for use
   as a filename, and $mkfn(filename), removes invalid characters.
90.You can now prevent a command from being processed as an alias by
   prefixing it with a ! character, eg. /!command etc.
91.Added event: on 1:PONG:echo pong reply: $1-, note: you can't use this
   to intercept /pings to your own nickname, this is used internally by
   mIRC.
92.Can now use $editbox(=name) for dcc chat editboxes.
93.Fixed a bug in sclick event for comboboxes in custom dialogs.
94.Made a change to the way sockets are closed throught-out mIRC.

96.The "photo" display method of background pictures can now display
   pictures properly regardless of their height/width ratio.
97.The problem with the + character being changed to & in custom dialogs
   is now fixed.
98.Added .stamp property to $chan(), $chat(), $query(), and $window(),
   returns timestamp setting.
99.Added $dbuw and $dbuh, return dbu per pixel width and height.
100.Changed parsing method for most identifiers so that your custom
    identifiers will now work even if they begin with the same letters
    as internal identifiers.

    Directory related identifiers have not been updated, eg. $mircdir,
    $getdir, $cd, etc. since many widely used scripts append text
    directly to them, ie.:

      //splay $file="Select wave:" $mircdirsounds\

    Instead of using the (better) format:

      //splay $file="Select wave:" $mircdir $+ sounds\

101.Removed support for the very old $parm and *N identifiers.
102.Fixed bug in /drawrect, sizing was slightly off. You can now
    also specify negative values for the width/height.
103.Extended "Date filenames" feature to allow you to date filenames
    by day, week, or month. If dated by week, log files begin on days
    1, 7, 14, and 21, and if dated by month, they begin on day 1.
104.Added support for single/double/paragraph line spacing in windows,
    can set default in Options/Display section, and for each window
    via the system menu.
105.Fixed bug in socket-related routines which may have affected IRC
    server connection, DCC Send/Get, and Custom sockets.
106.Changing the desktop/mdi setting of a window no longer makes mIRC
    forget the previously saved window position.
107.Fixed bug where mIRC was leaving tmpN.$$$ files in mIRC directory
    in certain situations.
108.Can now stop a /list on Undernet servers by selecting the "stop
    listing" item in the Channels List window menu.
109.Hotlink feature should be a bit smarter when matching nicknames
    to a link now.
110.$os now recognizes 2000.
111.mIRC now re-adds its icon to the tray if the tray is reset/crashes.
112.Added "copy messages to query" option in IRC dialog; if you're
    talking to a user in the dedicated message window and then decide
    to open a query to them, this copies the conversation you've had
    so far from the dedicated message window to the query window.
113.Can now specify a negative index in token identifiers, eg.

    //echo $puttok(a b c d, e, -2, 32)  =  a b e d
    //echo $instok(a b c d, e, -2, 32)  =  a b c e d
    //echo $deltok(a b c d, -2, 32)     =  a b d

114.$len() now returns 0 if passed an empty value.
115.Added $base(N,inbase,outbase,zeropad,precision) to convert number
    N from inbase to outbase. The last two parameters are optional.
116.Added $bfind(&binvar, N, M), searches a &binvar for a matching
    value, starting from position N. M can be a character value, ie.
    0 to 255, or text. The search is case-insensitive.

    $bfind(&test, 1, mirc)     finds "mirc" starting from pos 1
    $bfind(&test, 5, 32)       finds char 32 (a space) from pos 5
    $bfind(&test, 1, 87 65 86) finds WAV from pos 1

    You can use $bfind().text to force a text search if the search
    text is a number.
117.Sockets now have the "keep alive" setting turned on which should
    help keep a connection alive over extended periods.
118.Ctcp messages are now time-stamped.
119.$date now returns the full four-digit year. $ctime now also assumes
    the year 2000 if you specify a year <= 38.
120.$menu now works in mouse events in menu {} definitions.
121.Added "hide ping? pong!" option to IRC dialog.
122.Windows can now have their own timestamp setting independent of the
    global timestamp setting in the IRC/Messages dialog.

    You can now use /timestamp on|off|default, where default uses the
    global setting.

    You can also set the timestamp format using /timestamp -f [format].

123.Hotlinks now work on Tab-key nicknames that have messaged you in
    the message window.
124.Fixed bug in Display/Windows dialog when changing the MDI/Desktop
    setting for windows.
125.Added $dialog().active property, returns $true if dialog is the
    active window, $false otherwise.
126.Added $longfn(), returns LFN version of a short filename, works
    only in 32bit mIRC.
127.Added /bcopy [-zc] <&binvar> <N> <&binvar> <S> <M>

    This copies M bytes from position S in the second &binvar to
    the first &binvar at position N. This can also be used to copy
    overlapping parts of a &binvar to itself. If M = -1, all of
    the bytes from position S onwards are copied.

    If you specify the -z switch, the bytes in the source &binvar
    that were copied are zero-filled after the copy.

    If you specify the -c switch, the first &binvar is chopped to
    length N + M.

    Also added /bunset <&binvar> ... <&binvar> command to unset the
    specified list of &binvars.

128.Fixed bug with /did -i adding CRLF when inserting into a single
    line editbox.
129.Fixed bug in /dccserver command.
130.Can now use $mid() without specifying the third parameter.

134.If you try to use DCC Send/Chat/Fserve while they are locked
    in the lock dialog, you now see a lock message.
