If you want sounds, go to Options/Sounds/Requests and click "accept sound
requests." Then extract this zipfile into

windows open at the same time in order to chat on different servers at

"Flashing" lets you know when new messages have
arrived. It causes the MIRC icon to flash in the start bar
whenever someone enters a message when MIRC isn't the active
application. Select flashing by clicking on the room window's left icon.
