      -i = insert button at position [N]
      -d = delete button at position [N] or
      -m = move button to position [N]

      -s = separator

      -kN = use when adding button to make it a check button check/uncheck with N = 1 or N = 0

      -nN = icon index in picfile

      Properties: name,type,tip,alias,popup,width,height,wide, enabled,visible,checked,alpha

      Note: modifying some of the default mIRC buttons, such as Connect, Notify, etc. may not always work since they are managed by mIRC. They can however be deleted.
