Channel Windows
If more than one AmIRC window is opened, you may select one here
to pop it to front.
Dialog Windows
If any dialog windows are open, you may select one here and bring
it to front.
Windows List...
Shows the tray window where all windows are represented by a
button. Hidden windows can be opened by doubleclicking that
window's button.
Channel List Window...
This will produce a window where you may list channels by min.
users, pattern matching, or both. Once listed, you may list users
on a channel or join it by double-clicking the channel name or
selecting 'join channel' gadget. Please note that this function
can cause a high load of traffic and may take a while on slow
(14.4 or less) connections.
Notify Window...
In the Notify window you may enter nicks of users that you wish to
be notified of their entering/leaving IRC. The 'check period' is
how often AmIRC will check for the specified users. Add a nick to
the list by clicking in the input text gadget, and typing in the
nick. Delete a nick by clicking on it's entry and then click on
'Delete nick' gadget.
Favorite Channels...
In the Favortie Channels window you can make a list of all your
favorite channels allowing you to join them with a simple double
mouseclick.
DCC-Send Window...
Brings up the DCC-Send window where you can specify a user and a
file to send to them. This window will also be opened
automatically when using the 'DCC send' userbutton on the
interface. Send Path is the path (and filename) that will be sent
to the user. Enter the name of the user in the textinput gadget at
the bottom of the window. The cycle gadget next to the Nick
gadget selects either DCC Send or DCC Move protocols. See
DCC section for details about these
protocols. The Reoffer button allows you to reoffer a (failed)
file to the user. The Remove Job button will remove a complete
transfer or if not complete, one click will abort the send and the
second click will remove it.
Finally, the Cleanup button removes all finished or aborted
transfers from the window.
DCC-Receive Window...
The DCC-Receive window is very similar to the DCC-Send window.
This window will appear automatically on receiving a DCC request.
The files will be downloaded to the path entered in the Receive
Path field. After a valid path is entered, click on an entry to
receive, then click the Get gadget at the bottom. You can also
start the transfer by doubleclicking on the entry or enabling
Auto accept DCC send requests in the
User Modes menu. If you are trying to receive after a failed send,
you may use the Resume button instead of Get. This will
attempt to start transfer where it left off. If you wish to rename the
incoming file for whatever reason, you may use the Rename button.
The Replace button will cause the received file to replace any
present versions. Remove Job will abort an incoming file and
remove a completed or aborted file. Cleanup removes all
finished or aborted transfers. See DCC.
DCC-Chat Window...
In the DCC-Chat window you can confirm a DCC chat connection from
another user. Simply select the client sending the request and
click on Open to make the connection. You can close the
connections using Close. Cleanup removes all closed DCC
chat connections. See DCC.
Raw Log Window...
The Raw Log window ca be used to view the raw IRC messages as they
appear before AmIRC formats them for easy reading in the AmIRC
listview. Here you may also clear the log, and select when the
log is active: Never, Only if window open, or Always.
The log Listview shows the USERHOST, Type of message, Channel Name,
and message, in that order.
URL Grabber Window...
Any URL or Email address AmIRC recognizes will be placed
in the URL Grabber window. From here you can select them and either send
them to your browser or the clipboard. You can also clear the list.
Private Msgs Window...
The Private Messages window holds a history of private messages
sent to you, which you can later reference or review. You can
ofcourse clear the list.
Info Message Window
The Info Messages window displays server messages, wallops
messages, and CTCP requests. Any Shanghai gadgets that are
activated will prevent that type of message from showing in the
main channel window, even when the info window is closed. The
lower part of the window shows AmIRC's Lag-O-Meter. The VU style
meter is a graphical representation of the current lag to the
server. Next to the meter is the name of the server. Also shown
are the current lag, last two probes and the average of the last
two lags.
Flush Buffer
This item will clear the history of the main AmIRC listview.

buffer to disk.
