Let me add one more thing. I typically did not use IRC because it was a
pain to check the window every so often to see if anything was
happening, and I often forgot to even start it up.

I am now using zircon for IRC and tik for AOL/IM. Both programs can be
minimized on startup of netscape, so if nothing happens, I don't even
see they are running.

If someone says something, the window de-iconifies and displays itself.
This makes it much more convenient for me. Both use tcl 8.0.
