 +<code text>
 +[#bash] /alias win window new double on hide

 +==== Create Log for conversation ====
 +It is possible to change some of the settings in BitchX (bah it's a *unx program what did you expect :0)) to see which variables there is in BitchX type /set.\\
 +(Note: you might want to log your session first as the list scrolls up fairly fast)
 +

 +
 +<code text>
 +[#bash] /set {NAME_OF_VARIABLE} [Value of Variable]
 +</​code>​
 +
 +So here it would be
 +
 +<code text>
 +[#bash] /set LOGFILE ~/​irc/​chat.log
 +</​code>​
 +
 +This now means that chat's logfile is pointed to a text file called chat.log in a folder called irc in your home directory.i But you'll probally want to start the logging proccess as well :oP. To do so..
 +
 +<code text>
 +[#lobby] /set LOG on
 +</​code>​
 +
 +This starts the logging service to the file we specified earlier on. There are a good few variables.
 +
