Ircx

The Ircx command enables sending and receiving IRCX commands on a client, and displays the status of the IRCX protocol. Once the client has turned on the IRCX mode for a session, there is no way to turn it off.

To find out whether a chat server supports IRCX commands, use the Mode ISIRCX command before you register with the chat server. To find out if your client has turned on ISIRCX mode for this session, use the Isircx command.
