epic is designed to be more of a framework for scripters to build on. By itself out of the box, things like saving settings and auto-away etc don't exist. This is more true for epic5 than epic4 though, epic4 as you've noticed does have some functionality like this (i.e. /save) BitchX on the other hand, is like the epic client with a built-in script. For epic4 there are a number of good scripts that'll make your life easier. You can find a list of them at http://scripts.epicsol.org/list.php I would highly recommend Amnesiac, it's epic5 only though. I would also recommend LiCe, there's version for epic4 and epic5. I am biased in recommending LiCe though, as I currenly maintain it. To answer your question re the epic4 built in save command. If you put the contents of that file into your .epicrc in your home directory, it should do as you want (.epicrc is loaded when you first run epic) Cheers, Tim tjh on EFNet _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@epicsol.org http://epicsol.org/mailman/listinfo/list
