some semi technical questions

[Rob Hudson]

Irssi already has the framework for dealing with windows. In effect all this 
script is doing is putting in some additional functions. I'll need to learn 
a bit more about perl and irssi's approach to it in particular, but I think 
you are trying to make things a bit more difficult than it needs to be. Once 
I do get something working, I will report back to the list. But I'm a slow 
learner, grin.
