'''mIRC Commands''' are a set of built-in routines that can be used to manipulate various properties of mIRC, IRC, as well as operate {{mIRC|sockets|network sockets}}, perform {{mIRC|text files|I/O operations}}, and various other things.
  
Presently undocumented or deprecated commands are indicated in ''italics''.  A command is undocumented if it doesn't reasonably appear in the current help.chm, but may appear in the [https://www.mirc.com/versions.txt versions.txt]

These are commands were either added because they are commonly found in other IRC clients, or have been deprecated in favor of new commands but are left for convenience.

/philosophy was apparently an easteregg<sup>[''version?'']</sup>.
== Easter Eggs commands ==
 
There are currently two easter egg commands. Each simply displays a message.  Incidentally, the message can be suppressed with the dot '.' prefix, effectively making a {{mIRC|/noop}} command.
 
 
 
* {{mIRC|/fnord}} echos '''''Nothing to see here.''''' (in white-on-white text)  A reference to the books ''Principia Discordia'' (1965) and ''The Illuminatus! Trilogy'' (1975).
 
* {{mIRC|/xyzzy}} echos '''''Nothing happens.'''''  A reference to the game ''ADVENT'', ''Colossal Cave Adventure'' (1976-77) and the ''Jargon File'' (1983): ''The [New] Hacker's Dictionary'' (1991, 1996).
 
* {{mIRC|/philosophy}} (mIRC 6.1 only) echos '''''Korben: At least I won lunch.''''' and '''''Mr. Kim: Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!'''''  A reference to the movie ''The Fifth Element'' (1997).
 
* {{mIRC|/finger}} is not an easter egg per se, but is a retired command that does nothing and behaves like {{mIRC|/noop}}.  Not removed, technically speaking.
