If your mIRC client has a published COM interface it is readily doable. If not it would require A fairly large amount of knowledge in programming with the Windows API, and an operable understanding of how to write a zMud plugin in order to do it reliably. When you can provide an answer to that large if then maybe someone can say how to do it.

Actually it can be done using DDE.

Example:
First make sure DDE is enabled in mIRC. Send this command in mIRC: /ddeserver on

Now it should be possible to send a command through DDE like this
#dde "mIRC" "COMMAND" "/echo hello"

As you see COM wasn't even needed Smile
