About the TabExpand script:Normally hitting the Tab key enables to reply quickly to private messages. It sets the inputline to '/MSG nick ', so that you only have to type the reply text and hit <return>.The TabExpand script enhances that behavior. When you type a line of text and hit tab, the script will try to find a nickname on the current channel matching with the last word you typed. When there are more matches, hitting Tab again will let you scroll through the list of matching items.To load the script type /load<return> and select the TabExpand script, or hold the Option key and select 'Load script...' from the script menu.About the Events script:This script is only interesting for those who want to develop scripts for ircle. It shows what script handlers ircle uses and what possibilities there are to change ircles behavior.Known problems:Classic Mac OS:---------------Adobe Type Manager Deluxe and/or Adobe Type Reunion can cause ircle to crash at launch or when quitting. Exclude ircle in the ATR control panel and ircle will run fine then. This problem cannot be fixed by us, we guess Adobe added the 'Exclude' item in their software for a reason :).Mac OS X:
---------1: Occasional crashes while streaming audio/video. We are investigating.2: Not being able to connect to some IRC networks because they require 'ident'. You then have to switch on the OS X ident server. See enclosed document 'enabling ident using Terminal' on how to do that with your Terminal application.If you find a bug or you like to submit a suggestion please e-mail us at support@ircle.com.
