Command Prefix The default standard prefix to a command is a / character, however you can specify another character if the / key is hard to access on your keyboard. Regardless of the character you choose here, mIRC still recognizes the / character and uses it internally.
Window buffer This limits the scrollback buffer to the specified number of lines. Note that if a scrollback buffer already contains more than the specified number of lines it will be shortened. You can always use the /clear command in a window to clear the scrollback buffer completely. If you are scrolling back through the buffer, lines will not be removed until you return to the bottom of the buffer.
Line separator You can specify a line separator to be used in the status window. You can use a space to have a blank line. If you leave the box empty, lines in the status window will not be separated.
