[IRCServices] IRC Services 5.1 Features

[Craig McLure]

As always, thanks for the responce.. I'll have to take a closer look at the module API for the HELP callback (there are so many! probably missed that one)

With sendpass on encrypted passwords, i meant the latter.. sorry, should have been more clear there.

Looks like i'm starting to get rusty with my services commands, will take a closer look at the help files later today :)

Thanks again :)

>>maybe a second mode for memoserv, currently, you have either forward on or off, i'd like to have a 'Notify' command, which will send me a memo just saying "You have a new memo" and possibly the command for reading it, but leaving it in the database.
