	 wrong Nick/Channel being used when none was entered.

	Changed how Version information is handled.
	Changed how DalHelper creates/updates the MCF.Dal data file.

Updates to 5.12:

	to the correct services bot.

	command instead of just the destination.

New to 5.11:

	Added code to recognize IRC Server command 440
	as meaning Services are down and DalHelper shouldn't
	wait for a response from it.
	Added code to help ensure that DalHelper does not
	write a NULL entry to the "MCF.Dal" file.
	Moved old code handling IRC Server command 433 so
	that they are actually processed instead of skipped.
	Removed code handling IRC Server command 401 since
	using Services new command format results in a 440.

	to the MCF.Dal file for future use by upcoming GUI.

	copying it from the archive to your HD.

New to 5.10:

	Added ChanServ INVITE command.
	Services have been UPDATED.  For more guaranteed
	security, there are now server commands:
	ChanServ,  NickServ,  and  MemoServ.
	DalHelper now uses these commands instead of sending
	a /MSG to the appropriate nick.

	Added New ChanServ feature:  Count.
	This function is restricted to channel AOPs and above.
	It returns the number of channel AOPs, SOPs, and AKicks.

New to 5.8:

	Seems that with Dal's latest server upgrade, you
	can't change nick too quick, so I added a 30
	second wait between Nick changes.

New to 5.7:

	always grab the last entry in the MCF.Dal file.

	in Nick change cycle of IDA function.
	(Nick change too fast)

	IDA function now joins all Regged channels that
	you are not already on.
	Added a Cancel Wait-Loop function.
		USAGE:  /msg YourNick %DAL
	This will cause DalHelper to cease waiting for
	a response from services and exit the script.

	to a PRIVMSG to services. (No such Nick/Channel)
	Script will exit Wait-Loop if this occurs.

	Added new function:  IDA.  This function will
	change your nick to all your registered nicks,
	Identify them to NickServ, then Identify all
	your registered channels to ChanServ.
		USAGE:  /Rx DalHelper IDA

New to 5.3:

	Added code to set Clips with About information
	for display in future GUI About function and
	Version which next release of MCF4AmIRC will
	display upon receiving a VERSION request.
	Added new function for removing the clips before
	quitting the net.
		USAGE:  /Rx DalHelper QUIT

	for MCF_Buttons.

New to 5.1:

	A new Security feature for users who use
	other users' Amigas or for those who have
	more than 1 user on thier Amiga.  If you
	have a disk labeled  DalHelper  or make
	an assignment of  DalHelper:  to a directory,
	that location will be searched for the file
	MCF.Dal (password file) first before the
	AmIRC root directory is searched.  If found,
