    From Sampsa@1:103/705 to All on Wed Nov 23 23:58:00 2016
    Guys,

    What's the easiest way to DISABLE the prompts when invoking the standard
    IRC client (3.16, Main Menu +C -> Chat Menu +R) and have it connect to
    a default server or channel?

    I'm happy to hack away at some JS if necessary, would just like a
    pointer as to where to start.

    Thanks,

    Sampsa

    IIRC it's all in the command line that the IRC client is invoked with, for example:

    ?irc.js -a irc.synchro.net 6667 #bbs

    I'm happy to hack away at some JS if necessary, would just like a
    pointer as to where to start.

    Looks like this is in 'exec/chat_sec.js'. Make a copy of that in your 'mods' directory, comment out lines 74 through 83, and modify the command line to suit, eg.:

    bbs.exec("?irc.js -a irc.synchro.net 6667 #bbs");
