/dialog Command - mIRC
< mirc‎ | commands

The /dialog command is used to create a dialog using a given table. The name is what the script/you will use to refer to the table. The standard dialog created using the /dialog command can be used to create model or modeless dialogs. Modeless it does not return a value when the dialog closes. As a result it does not halt the mIRC scripting engine, letting other script to keep processing. Dialogs can be kept open for as you want.
