Finger
 This button is used to finger an address to find
out some more about that person. It is hardly used,
but it's worth knowing about it. The syntax is:-
/finger nick/address
This is
not the same
as the IRC finger.The IRC finger is a CTCP command
with the syntax:-
/ctcp nickname finger
In the newest mIRC, a finger server is built in to
enable you to provide finger info even if your ISP
doesn't maintain a central finger server. Under Misc/Options/Servers/
you can enable this Finger server.
You also have to provide a text file with the info
you want to give. This file should be written as following:-
[default]
line1
line2
line3
lineN
[name]
line1
line2 .
line3.
lineN
[default]
Will be used to reply to a finger request which does
not specify a user, or specifies a user that doesn't
exist
[name]
corresponds to your
userid
.
Put each information on separate line.
Timer
 This button is used to configure the on line
timer, that is displayed in the status window next
to your nickname. You can choose to:-
On line timer
to be active.
reset to zero on connect
so that you can tell how long you are on IRC for that
session, or
keep time until [reset]
, the timer will be cumulative and will show the total
amount of time you have used IRC.
