If you are using IRCe (and if you're not why not?) I just put a new 
version on SqueakSource, 10.5.3.

http links are clickable.
Tabbed completion of nicks was already in the code but now if the nick 
starts the line a ';' is appended. If the nick is inline no : is 
appended.  (Thanks to Ken for suggesting this).

Know problems: Right now the code assumes the link ends with a space or 
ends the text line.  If the link ends with another char (such as . or ) 
) that char gets included in the link.

If mIrc colors is selected in the setup>current options window the link 
color will not change. The link is still clickable however.

The browser opened will be whatever the default browser is in your 
image. As scamper isn't really of much use right now you may want to 
load 'ExternalWebBrowser' from SqueakMap. I've been using i for some 
time now and It works great for all URL's not just IRCe. If your on a 
Mac you may want to also load 'Applescript' from SqueakMap.

I'm not much of an IRC user. My exposure to other clients is limited so 
I'm not sure what features others may find  useful in a client. So if 
you have any suggestions, comments or criticisms let me know.

regards
