*<notextile>on <level>:HOTLINK:<matchtext>:<*|#|?|=|@>:<commands></notextile>*

Unless you use [[/halt]] inside the event, the cursor will change from arrow to a hand/link.

<matchtext> - The [[Matchtext]] to listen to.
<*|#|?|=|!|@> - The [[Matchtarget]] to listen to.
<commands> - The commands to be performed when the event listener's criteria is met.

  ; Otherwise halt and let AdiIRC determine what to do.
