Hi Stephen,
Did you know there is a list dedicated to ircle scripting? The ircle web
site (
http://ircle.com/related.shtml) has instructions on how to subscribe.

I'm sure I can help. What have you tried so far? What isn't working? Give
specifics.

You should have received a script called "events" with your ircle package.
if not, just say the word and I'll send it to you. It contains example
handlers for every event ircle sends out to loaded scripts.
To start, take a look at connectionevent(). This handler is called when a
connection event occurs (such as "connection opening", connection closed",
etc.). The connectionevent() handler looks like this:
on connectionevent(con, conevent)
-- con : connection number (1..10) NUMBER
-- con: 11 and up for dcc connections (NEW)
-- coneevent: one of namesearchfailed,
ipsearchfailed,namefound,ipfound,openfailed,established,closing,pleaseclose,
closed
tell application "ircle"
display ("connection " & (con as string) & " event")
end tell
end connectionevent
When you receive the connection "established" event, you are connected.
Note, however, that just being connected doesn't mean the server is ready
for a /join command. If you want to wait until the server is ready for
commands, you may want to do something different. What I do is wait for the
numeric server message 376 - the "End of MOTD" message. You can watch for
this event using the numeric() handler:
on numeric(con, command, thestring)
if (command = 376) then -- end of MOTD (server should be ready now)
-- send server commands
end if
return false
end numeric
To join a channel, I usually just tell Ircle to type the join command.
