IRC *** What is IRC, by the way? ======================== IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, originally written by Jarkko Oikarinen . In a nutshell, IRC consists of a network of computers (servers) that are connected to each other via the internet or a LAN, and allow users with proper client software to connect and chat with each other. Within this network, virtual space is divided up into channels, usually with a topic of conversation, where users can talk in groups. IRC Terms ********* Terms you might encounter ========================= Here's a list of some commonly used terms and expressions with their respective explanation: * Action: CTCP Action command, executed by a /ME at the beginning of a message. * Ban: A channel mode set in order to prevent a user or group of users from joining a channel. * Bot: Short for Robot, a Bot is a script that acts like a user, and can execute a command upon a certain occurance. * Client: Software that is written for the purpose of connecting to a server, in this case, an IRC server. * Channel: A group of users on IRC. A channel will have a name (i/e, #AmIRC), and may or may not have a topic of conversation. * Channel Mode: The properties of a channel that allow or disallow certain activities. Channel Modes can only be changed or set by Channel Operators. The available channel modes are: - Invite Only: If active, This mode allows users to join if they have been invited by someone in the channel. - Private: If active, the channel is invisible in the global channel list. - Lag: The term which is used when the connection to a server or client is delayed. - Limit: If active, sets a limit on the number of users allowed to join a channel. - Moderated: If active, only Channel Operators and users with voice may type input to the channel. - No Messaging: If active, prevents users from sending a message to the channel until they have joined it. - Secret: If active, the channel is invisible until it is joined. - Topic Protection: If active, only Channel Operators may set or change the topic of a channel. * Channel Operator (or OP): A user who has control over a channel. A user who creates a channel is given Op status, and in turn can give it to anyone else in the channel. * Chat Network: A network of computers that are interconnected so that anyone on any server in the network may chat with anyone else on any computer in that same network. Here's some major chat networks: - ARCnet: Amiga Relay Chat Network, partially running on Amiga servers. - IRCnet: Formerly part of EFnet, now split. - EFnet: Eris Free Network. The largest IRC network - DAL-Net: A different IRC network with some specialized functons that do not appear in typical IRC networks. - Undernet: An alternative IRC network * Command: A message to an IRC server or to a local or remote client. Commands generally begin with a /. See Commands. * CTCP: Client To Client Protocol, A standard for sending commands from one client to another, usually for the purpose of getting information from the remote client. See CTCP. * DCC: Direct Client Connection - a standard for creating a direct link between two clients, for the purpose of sending or receiving files, or to carry a more secure conversation. See DCC. * IdentD: IdentD is software that can be run on the client, allowing an IRC server to corroberate the identity of a client. AmIRC has an IdentD built in, and will automatically disable it if an external IdentD is running. * IRC: Internet Relay Chat - Any Network of Computers that run IRC servers for the purpose of allowing users to connect to it using client software made for IRC. * Kick: The occurance of a user being removed from a joined channel by a channel operator. * Lag: Term to specify that the connection is delayed to some extend. * MOTD: Message Of The Day, A message that may or may not be updated daily, that is meant to be read when connecting to an IRC server. * Netsplit: An event that occurs when a server goes down that other servers depend on for network packets. Any servers that are dependant on the crashed server will split from the net, that is, they will still be up and running, with active clients, but any clients on the other side of the crashed unit will appear to have all logged off at once. * Nick: Short for Nickname, this is an alias that you may pick for yourself. * Op: See Channel Operator. * Server: A computer that is Running IRC server software, allowing it to be connected to by IRC clients or other servers. * Server Operator: A person in control of an IRC server. * TLA (Three Letter abreiviations): Commonly used acronyms, not entirely restricted to 3 letters: - AFAIK: As Far As I Know - AFK: Away From Keyboard - BRB: (I'll) Be Right Back - BBL: (I'll) Be Back Later - IMHO: In My Humble|Honest Opinion - LOL: Laughs Out Loud - MOTD: Message Of The Day - ROTFL: Rolls On The Floor Laughing - RTFM: Read The F***ing Manual * Topic: A heading for a channel that may or may not have anything to do with the conversation at hand. * User: A person using an IRC Client to connect to a server to chat. * User Mode: Settings that affect a users properties. - Invisible: If this mode is set, a user will be invisible in the global user list. The user will still be visible in the user list of any joined channel, however. - Wallops: When set, this mode will allow receiving of messages from the server operator to all operators. * Userhost: This is the string that defines a user. It consists of the user's chosen nick, login name and domain name. For example: Wupper!jwupper@monorail.denet234.de | | | | |_ Domain | | | |________ Network | | |_________________ Machine | |_________________________ Login |________________________________ Nick * Voice: Status a normal (not an operator) user must have to type into a moderated channel.

Requirements ************ What is needed to use AmIRC? ============================ Hardware -------- AmIRC was written for the Amiga family of computers, and has been tested on Amiga 500, 1000, 1200, 2000, 3000, & 4000 computers in various configurations. Software -------- AmIRC requires MUI V3.6 or later in order to run. AmIRC requires KickStart & WorkBench 2.x or later, with setpatch 40.16 installed. AmIRC020 requires a 68020 or higher CPU and OS3.0 or newer. This version is optimized for such machines. If you plan to run a TCP/IP stack and AmIRC among other Internet applications you should have at least 2 megabytes of RAM. Finally, you need to have a tcp/ip protocol stack running, such as Miami, AmiTCP/IP or Amiga Technology's as225r2 tcp/ip protocol stack. Installation ************ How to install AmIRC ==================== AmIRC has its own installer script and requires that you have the Amiga installer utility (version 43.3 or later). To install, just click on the install icon, and answer the questions in the installer's requesters. If you cannot or prefer not to use the installer utility, a manual install is very simple, just move the contents of the archive to a directory of your choice and it's ready to use. If you have met the Requirements for the optimized version of AmIRC, delete the AmIRC file and rename "AmIRC020" as "AmIRC". You might want to copy the "MUI" directory of the AmIRC distribution to MUI:Libs/MUI/ to avoid version confusion. Connecting ********** Let's have a go =============== Once you have Installation AmIRC, you can start the program from WB by clicking on its icon. After a few moments you will see the server selection window. The first thing you need to do is enter a nickname in the first 'Nicknames' gadget at the top of the window. This is how you will be known on IRC. It may be a good idea to enter some alternative nicks in the next three boxes. This way, if your nick is used by another person, AmIRC will retry with the next nick. Next, enter your real name (plus your email address or www home page URL if you want) in the 'Real name' gadget. It is best if you are truthful. Then, enter a username that will show as «username»@machine.network.org. «username» should be the same as the login ID for your service provider. Note: If there is already an IdentD service running on your machine (usually by your TCP/IP stack) the username field will be ghosted and the usernam specified by the stack will be used. Now you are ready to connect to an IRC network. The servers in the serverlisting are organized in server groups which usually represent the different networks. You can open and close the server groups, by doubleclicking on the group, to show or hide the servers in that specific group. AmIRC comes with a basic serverlist with one server for all popular networks. Select the network you want to connect to and doubleclick on the server or use the 'New Server' button and enter the address and port number of your favorite server and then click on 'Connect'. Optionally, you can add one or a few channels to autojoin, just separate them with a comma. If you want to make an entire new server group use the 'New Group' button. You can move servers around the groups using drag&drop. If you are already connected, and wish to connect to an additional server, select the server and use 'Connect Thread' to open a second instance of AmIRC. Use the 'Copy' to make a duplicate of the currently selected server or group. The 'Delete Server' button will remove a server that you no longer wish to use. Operation ********* How Does AmIRC Work? ==================== The main AmIRC user interface is laid out in a logical, intuitive manner, making it easy to use. Here's an overview of the main interface: * The main feature of the interface is the Text Listview, where all incoming text is displayed. * Directly below this is the Textinput Gadget, labeled with the nickname that you have chosen. Any text entered here will be sent out to the IRC server. * Directly next to the textinput gadget is the Logging Button marked 'L'. Clicking on it activates the logging of that window to a file. * To the right of the listview is a Scroll Gadget, which enables you to scroll backward through the text in the listview. * At the top left of the listview is a the Channelname Gadget that shows the name of the channel that you have joined. * To the right of the channelname, is the Topic Input/Display Gadget, where the topic of a joined channel is displayed. If you have Channel Operator (Ops) status, you may change the topic of the channel by entering the topic in this gadget, and hitting the 'Enter' key. * To the right of the topic input gadget are theChannel Mode Buttons, which display the current modes for the joined channel. Users with Channel Operator (Ops) status may also use these buttons to change the current channel modes. - T - Topic Protection: Toggles Topic Protecton on/off. If on, the topic can be changed by Channel Operators (Ops) only. - N - No Messaging: Toggles Messaging on/off. If active, a user can only write to the channel if they have joined it. - S - Secret: Toggles Secret mode on/off. If active, the channel is invisible until it is joined. - I - Invite Only: Toggles Invite Only mode on/off. If active, users can only join after they have been invited. - P - Private: Toggles Private mode on/off. If active, the channel will be invisible in the global channel list. - M - Moderated: Toggles Moderated mode on/off. If active, only channel operators (Ops) and users with 'voice' can type to the channel. - L - Limit: Sets a limited number of users allowed on the channel - K - Keyword: Toggles Keyword mode on/off. If active, Users can only join the channel if they give the correct keyword. - B - Ban: Sets/Displays the current Bans active on the channel * Below the channel mode buttons is the User Listview, which shows a current list of users on the joined channel. Double clicking on a users name will perform a /WHOIS on that user. Clicking once on a users name will set that user as the default to perform other operations on, such as an operation from the configurable user buttons. Pressing the right mousebutton when on a name shows a menu where you can select the same functions as the User Buttons below. * Directly below the User Listview are theUser Buttons. These buttons are configurable from the GUI window, accessable by selecting 'Setup...' from the AmIRC Settings menu. * You can Drag-Hilight text in the listview in order to paste it elsewhere. you will need some type of snap utility such as Newedit or Powersnap in order to past the text into another application. The text is stored in the clipboard. To paste the text inside AmIRC you can use V. The TAB key will cycle through the names of people that have previously /MSG'ed you, and insert it into the textinput gadget. Simply enter your message after the "/MSG " in order to /MSG them back. Entering ':' first in the textinput gadget will automatically publicly address the last person you typed to using the ':' after their nick. Menus ***** What's on the menu? =================== Menus ===== AmIRC Menu ---------- Select Server... Opens the server window from which you can select various options for connecting to an IRC server. See Connecting. Logging Enabled? Toggles logging on/off.

From this menu you may execute any existing AmIRC ARexx script. See the full ARexx for an indepth look on ARexx. Using the commands in AmIRC. **************************** Overview ======== AmIRC has many builtin commands. Some of these commands are processed locally, whereas others are sent to the IRC server. Commands generally start with a '/' to differentiate them from normal text. If you want to use the / character at the start of normal text, use '//' instead. Many commands require a channel name as a parameter. AmIRC will automatically fill in the channel name of the current window if you don't specify a channel name on your own. For commands which require a nick name (e.g. /MSG or /OP, there are three special shortcut arguments: . The period is replaced with the nickname of the last person you have send a private message to. , The comma is replaced with the nickname of the last person who send a message to you. Be careful with this, since you might easily address the wrong person if someone sends you a message while you are still typing this command! : The colon is replaced with the nickname of the last person which you haved a addressed with a 'Nick:' prefix inside a channel. You may easily carry a dialog with a particular user by first clicking on their username in the user list, then anytime you hit the TAB key, the input string will be set up with '/MSG ', after which you may type in the message and hit return. This will work after initiating a DCC request as well. Please note that if you have configured the user list as a separate window, you must reactivate the message window after clicking on a username. Reference to all AmIRC commands =============================== Commands ======== ? - Usage: /? [Command] With this command you can get a list of all available commands. When a command is added behind it, you get the correct command syntax. Alternative: HELP EXAMPLES: /? Will show a list of all available commands /? Ping Will show the correct command syntax for the PING command: Usage: /PING [nick] Commands ======== ADMIN ----- Usage: /ADMIN [Server] Shows information about a server's administrator. Without a servername the currently connected server info will be shown. EXAMPLES: /ADMIN irctest.vapor.com Shows the information for the server irctest.vapor.com: «Admin» Administrative info about irctest.vapor.com «Admin» Vapor's experimental ARCNet Server «Admin» Oliver Wagner «Admin» Slow Mess Clients Welcome(tm) Commands ======== ALIAS ----- Usage: /ALIAS [Alias [Replacement, %p for alias parameters] With ALIAS you can make an alias for frequently used terms. You can also add parameters needed for certain commands using %p. You can also change Aliases using the Lists. EXAMPLES: /ALIAS Goto Join %p You can now use: /GOTO #Test instead of /JOIN #Test Commands ======== AWAY ---- Usage: /AWAY [message] When used with the optional [message] argument, it will mark you as being away and send the message to any client sending a MSG to you. Otherwise, it will remove a previously set away message. Related: BACK EXAMPLES: /AWAY eating dinner Will send the message ' is away: eating dinner', where nick is the nickname of the user that is away. /AWAY Will remove a previously set Away Message. Commands ======== BACK ---- Usage: /BACK (no arguments) Where AWAY toggles between setting and resetting the Away state. This command always resets the Away state and thus no longer marks you as away. Related: AWAY EXAMPLES: /BACK Will reset the away state and no longer marks you as away. Commands ======== BAN --- Usage: /BAN [channel] userhost[,userhost...] This command will ban everyone with the specified userhost(s) from entering the channel. With the optional channel argument you can setup a ban on a different channel than the one in which window the command is executed. Related: BANDEL BANLIST KICK KICKBAN QKICK QKICKBAN EXAMPLES: /BAN bill@*.microsoft.com Will prevent a user called bill in the microsoft.com domain from entering the channel. /BAN Amiga bill@*.microsoft.com Will ban user bill on microsoft.com from entering #Amiga. Commands ======== BANDEL ------ Usage: /BANDEL [channel] userhost[,userhost...] Will remove a ban on the specified userhost(s) on the (optional) channel. Related: BAN BANLIST KICK KICKBAN QKICK QKICKBAN EXAMPLES: /BANDEL *!*@*microsoft.com Will remove the ban for the microsoft.com domain. Commands ======== BANLIST ------- Usage: /BANLIST [channel] userhost[,userhost...] Shows a list of bans currently active on the (specified) channel. Related: BAN BANDEL KICK KICKBAN QKICK QKICKBAN EXAMPLES: /BANLIST Shows a list of all bans on the currently active channel. Commands ======== CHANNEL ------- Usage: /CHANNEL channel[,channel[,...]] [key[,key,...]] Join a channel on the IRC. If the channel doesn't exists, it is automatically created. There are two kinds of channels: Channel names starting with an # are global channels and available on all IRC servers which are connected to the net you are currently on. Channels which begin with & are local to the chat server you are connected to. If a channel requires a special keyword to join, you can submit this after the channel name. AmIRC will look for a channel window which isn't currently bound to a channel. If it doesn't find one, a new window will be created and bound to this channel. Alternative: JOIN Related: LEAVE PART QUIT EXAMPLES: /CHANNEL #Amiga Join the channel #Amiga /CHANNEL #Amiga,#AmIRC Join the channels #Amiga and #AmIRC /CHANNEL #Secret Booh Join the channel #Secret that protected with keyword Booh. Commands ======== CONNECT ------- Usage: /CONNECT server [port [remote server]] With this command you can (re)connect a server to the one you are connected to or another specified one. Note: You need to be IRC Operator to be able to do this! EXAMPLES: /CONNECT test1.irc.com Will connect test1.irc.com to the currently connected server Commands ======== CTCP ---- Usage: /CTCP nick request CTCP or Client To Client Protocol is a standard for sending commands to other clients on IRC. Basically, CTCP messages are simply private messages that include a code to alert the receiving client (not user) to respond to the command. CTCP commands are typicaly used to get informaton from the receiving client, such as '/CTCP time', or '/CTCP version'. Even DCC sends a request via CTCP to the receiving client, asking to initiate a direct connection. Related: ME DCC SOUND TIME QUERY VERSION EXAMPLES: /CTCP Franky Version This will return the version of Franky's client: «Reply» Franky VERSION AmIRC/AmigaOS 1.118 by Oliver Wagner : http://www.vapor.com/amirc/ : [#00000000] : This space for rent.

The reason for this is to form a faster, more stable and direct connection through which users can transfer files, or send private messages. Note that AmIRC has its own set of Highly Optimized DCC protocols built-in, and does not require external DCC utilities. The most common use of DCC is for transfering files between two clients. The initiating client will send a message through the IRC server, telling the receiver that a connection is requested. At this time, the receiver will either accept or reject the offer for the connection. If the receiver accepts the connection, the initiating client will proceed to send the information directly to the receiver. If the connecton is refused, the initiating client will simply timeout the attempt to connect. Another use of the DCC standard is DCC chat, which, like DCC Send, will send a CTCP request to the receiving client to set up a direct link. In this case, however, the purpose of the link is for users to send messages to each other. Because the mesages are sent through the direct link, and do not pass through the IRC server, this method of sending messages is much more private than using the IRC's private message (/MSG) command. With AmiRC, it must be noted that a DCC Chat request will not open a dialog window for you, instead, when DCC chat is initiated and accepted, all privmsg's (/MSG) to the receiving user will be sent through the DCC link. If you wish to have a dialog box for chatting, the best way to do this is to highlight the users's name in the userlist by clicking on it and then click on the 'Query' button below the listview. This will open a window that has several options within it. From here, you can 'Ping' or 'Whois' the other user, or you may inititate a 'DCC Send' or 'DCC Chat'. Starting a 'DCC Chat' from this window will allow you to carry on a dialog with the remote user through the window. EXAMPLES: /DCC send Franky AmIRC20.lzx Will send a request to Franky to transfer a file called AmIRC20.lzx. When Franky (auto-)accepts transfer will begin. /DCC move Franky AmIRC20.lzx Will basically do the same as 'DCC Send' but it is capable of resuming an aborted or failed transfer. It looks in the receiving directory and if a file with the same name if found it will send a 'DCC Resume' instead of 'DCC Send'. Commands ======== DESCRIBE -------- Usage: /DESCRIBE nick describe-text DESCRIBE is used to 'describe' something to another user. Related: ME MSG EXAMPLES: /DESCRIBE John It is nice weather here Send the following text to user John: «Describe» It is nice weather here Where is your nickname.

Customizing your environment **************************** Overview ======== Now that you have AmIRC running, you may want to get it to operate the way you want it to, and to look pleasing as well. This is achieved thru both MUI preferences and AmIRC's Menu options. Changing MUI Settings ********************* MUI Preferences =============== Most of the configuration dealing with how AmIRC's GUI appears can be customized with MUI. Check the 'MUI Settings...' entry under the 'Settings' menu. This will pop up MUI's interface, allowing you to setup AmIRC's MUI Prefs, without disturbing any of your other MUI configurations. Read the documentation for MUI to Learn more about the operation of MUI Preferences. Changing AmIRC Options ********************** AmIRC Setup =========== Most of the setup functions appear in the 'Setup' entry under the 'Settings' & 'Lists' menus. Here you will get a multi-requestor that will allow you to access several pages that deal with configuring AmIRC. Messages Page ************* Misc Messages ============= CTCP Userinfo The text in this string is what will be returned to a user who sends '/CTCP userinfo' to your client. KICK Reason If you are a channel operator and /kick another user from the Channel, this test will appear as the reason for the /KICK. Quit Messages ============= Exit This will appear to users in the channel when you exit AmIRC. New Server This text will appear to users in the channel when you select 'Select Server' in the 'AmIRC' menu, and pick a new server to connect to. System Reset This is the text to appear if you reboot your amiga (Crtl- amiga-amiga) while connected to a server. AWAY Messages ============= Default This is the text that will appear when you are set 'away' by selecting the 'Marked Away?' item in the 'User Modes' menu. AutoAWAY text that appears when you are automatically set away due to inactivity. Timeout This sets how much time will pass before AmIRC assumes you are away from the computer and marks you as 'AWAY'. If set to 0 (Zero), timeout will be disabled. UnAWAY This cycle gadget allows you to choose the conditions of which AmIRC will automatically set you to 'Not AWAY'. Actions Page ************ Actions ======= The 24 text gadgets in the 'Label:' column here correspond to the gadgets under the user list on AmIRC's main window. You may set these gadgets to be anything, sort of like macros. AmIRC, however, does include configurable function keys to act as macros, so these gadgets are preset for /ctcp, /dcc, and /mode operations. Below the text gadgets is a quick reference of the placeholders that can be used in the desired operation. These actions can also be accessed by clicking the right mouse button in the title bar of the AmIRC screen after clicking on a users nick with the left mouse button. Events Page *********** Events ====== Here you may define certain actions to take place upon incoming events. These actions can be as simple as a warning beep from your amiga, or a complex and powerful rexx command. The following text first explains the functions of the columns of this page, and then goes on to explain what each event is. Columns ------- Event The particular event for the action to take place on. Deiconify If AmIRC is iconified, this will uniconify and bring to front the AmIRC window on the occurence of the event. Beep This will perform a system beep on the occurence of the event Sound if a sound sample is preferred for the event, you may use the requestor gadget to pick a sound to play instead of the system beep. Please Note, AmIRC uses the DataTypes of OS 3.x for sounds, and you will not be able to use this feature under OS 2.x. Vol This sets the volume for the sound sample. The valid range for the volume is 0 - 64. This is a slider gadget. The small gadget just to the left of this silder gadget can be used to test the selected soundfile. Rexx Command Here you may configure a rexx script to be run on the occurence of the event. Events ------ Any Message This Event occurs on any incoming public message. Private Msg This event occurs when you receive an incoming private /msg or /dcc chat message Notice This event occurs when an operator sends out a /notice CTCP request This event occures when your client receives any /ctcp request (for example /ctcp time, or /ctcp version DCC request This event occurs on receiving a /dcc file transfer request or chat request. Join This event occurs when anyone /joins the channel you are currently on. Kick This event occurs when anyone is /Kicked from the channel you are currently on. Mode change This event occurs when the channel mode is changed for the channel you are currently on, i/e. if someone is /OPed or /DeOPed, or if the channel is made private, etc. ISON Notify This event occurs when AmIRC 'sees' a user that is configured in your 'Notify' list. Connection This event occurs when AmIRC makes a connection to an IRC server. Invite This event occurs when another user invites you to join a channel that is currently set to /MODE 'Invite Only' Highlight This even occurs upon receiving text that is configured in the highlights secton of the lists setup. GUI Configuration ***************** GUI === The GUI configuraton page allows you to control some specific aspects of AmIRC that arent covered in the MUI configuration. Userlist: --------- The userlist cycle gadget allows you to control if the User List is visible or not visible, and if it is visible, if it is a separate window, or a part of the AmIRC window. If the Sort Gadget is check marked, the list will be sorted alphabetically, otherwise, the list will reflect the order that the users have joined the chat. The Order cycle gadget allows you to choose how the nicks in the userlist will be listed, Alphabetically, new at top, or new at bottom. The Buttons? Gadget will toggle on & off the gadgets in the User Action List, located below the user list. If the user list is configured as a separate window, the buttons will also appear in that window. The Userlist win open? gadget will control if the userlist is open or closed if configured as a separate window. Misc ---- Here you may select a different pubscreen for the query window to appear on. If no pubscreen is specified, the Query window will open on the AmIRC default screen. Text Colors ----------- In this section, you may configure the colors that certain text will appear in AmIRC. These colors are based on the MUI pen colors that you have configured in MUI. Just click and hold on the cycle gadget to see a list of the MUI Pen colors available. Normal Text Text that is a normal message from a user. Private Messages Text that is a private message from another user to you. Mode Changes Text that shows a mode change for the channel. Highlighted Text text that is configured in the Lists list for AmIRC. Server Messages Text that comes from the server, i/e when a user joins or exits the channel. CTCP/DCC Messages Text that informs you of an incoming CTCP or DCC request. Logging ------- Here you may enter the path & name to use for the logfile. Misc Configuration ****************** Miscellaneous Configuration Items ================================= CTCP COUND handling ------------------- Here you may set the directory where AmIRC looks for files requested by incoming /CTCP Sound requests. Also, the volume of the sound to be played back can be set. If the "Use external player?" gadget is checked, AmIRC will attempt to use the player specified in the "player command line" gadget to play sounds. This player applies to ctcp sound requests as well as sounds configured in the setup/events tab. "Lists..." Menu Item ******************** Lists Configuration =================== Alias Tab --------- Here you can create aliases, or shortcuts for complex IRC commands. Some examples have been created for you, and a reference template appears at the bottom of this page. %p is the place holder for any arguments you may wish to add when using an alias. Ignore Tab ---------- Here you can set which users if any you want to ignore, and what kind of messages from them to ignore. To add an ignore to the list, click the 'Add Ignore' gadget, then type the user's name in the text input gadget labeled 'Ignore'. Next click on the type of messages you want to ignore. Checking the 'text' box will prevent you from seeing any public messages from the user. Setting the 'privmsgs' box will prevent you from seeing /MSGs from that user to you. Likewise, clicking the 'CTCPs' box will prevent you from seeing any CTCP requests from the Ignored user. To delete an ignore, click on the entry you wish to delete, and then click on the 'delete ignore' gadget. Hilite Tab ---------- Here you may set certain text to be highlighted in order to get your attention if that text appears. You may set text to match the nick, Userhost, or any keyword enclosed in double quotes. To add a new pattern, click on the Button labeled "Add new Hilite pattern", and type your pattern into the input gadget. To delete an existing pattern, Click on the entry yo uwish to delete and then click on the button labeled "Delete Hilite pattern". The Hilite patterns will ignore a pattern it recognizes if it was input by you, but will activate on the pattern from other users. Pattern Definitions: -------------------- Nick This will watch the AmIRC listview for the nick that you specify, and highlight the text for that users message. The 'Nick' entry does not require double quotes. Userhost This will watch for messages that originate from a particular Userhost, and highlight the text for that message. Userhost entries may contain wildcards. Examples: fred!fdoe@doe1.powernet.edu This will highlight only messages from fred at that particular address. fred!*@* This will highlight messages from anyone named fred, regardless of address or login name. Fred!*@*.powernet.edu This will highlight messages from anyone named fred on any machine on powernet.edu *!*@doe1.powernet.edu This will highlight any messages from anyone on the doe1 machine at powernet.edu *!*@* This will highlight any messages from any user. "Keyword" This will highlight any message that contains the text enclosed in double quotes. Function Key Definitions ************************ Function Keys ============= Here you may define the Amiga's ten functon keys to insert text into the input string gadget of AmIRC. By using the keys normally, or with the 'shift' or 'crtl' modifiers, you may define up to 30 text input macros that can be used at the press of a key. This is similar to the functon key macros found on many popular terminal emulation programs. A /n at the end of a function key definition will send a after the text. The function key definitions also allow placeholders, similar to the Operation. AmIRC's ARexx Port ****************** Overview ======== AmIRC supports a versatile ARexx Port. ARGUMENTS: None DESCRIPTION: This script is executed when AmIRC is launched. It may be used to initialise scripts. Connected.amirx =============== ARGUMENTS: None DESCRIPTION: This script is executed once a connection has been established to a server. Shutdown.amirx ============== ARGUMENTS: None DESCRIPTION: This script is executed on shutdown of an AmIRC client. It may be used to flush memory. Note: It is imperative to change host address in the beginning of the script becuase the AmIRC arexx port will drop shortly after shutdown.amirx is executed. EXAMPLE : /* Shutdown.amirx */ address REXX Custom_CTCP.amirx ================= ARGUMENTS: command fromnick destination arguments where "destination" is either the destination channel or your own nickname. DESCRIPTION: This script will be executed for every CTCP command received that is not implemented internally into AmIRC. When this script exists,the "Unknown CTCP command ..." line will not be displayed, so include code to emulate it. EXAMPLE : This example shows how to implement a simple page command that plays a sound and deiconifies the client. /* Custum_CTCP.amirx */ options results parse arg command fromnick destination arguments /* Display unknown CTCP commands */ if command ~= 'PAGE' then do 'ECHO P=«CTCP» C=5 Unknown "'command'" request from' fromnick'.' exit end /* Ignore if request was sent to a channel */ if left(1,destination) ~= '#' then do /* echo a line,deiconify client and play a sample */ 'ECHO P=«CTCP» C=5' fromnick 'has paged you.'

It is passed the last flood-line as arguments. If the script does not exist, the internal AmIRC function will be used. EXAMPLE : This example will effectively emulate the internal AmIRC flood protection. One may improve on it. /* Handleflood.amirx */ options results parse arg last "parseline" last parse value last.prefix WITH nick'!'user''host 'SAY /IGNORE *!*'host 'CTCP' "ECHO P=FloodProt Flood from" nick "defused." SAY === Usage: SAY TEXT/F DESCRIPTION: Treats TEXT just like it has been entered in the string gadget of the current window. EXAMPLES: 'say /JOIN #Amigager' RELATED TOPICS: See RX_ECHO.

EXAMPLES: "GETSERVERNAME";"ECHO" result RELATED TOPICS: See RX_GETMYNICK. USERHOST ======== Usage: USERHOST NICK/A DESCRIPTION: Returns the userhost specification belonging to NICK. AMIRC keeps an internal list of the userhosts of every nick that occured yet. You can query this database with this command. Note however that it is possible that the userhost isn't in the database yet; this command will not query the server then, but simply return an error. EXAMPLES: "USERHOST Olli";"ECHO" result RELATED TOPICS: See RX_GETMYNICK. ECHO ==== Usage: ECHO P=PREFIX/K,C=COL/K/N,TEXT/F/A DESCRIPTION: Sends text to the listview. With P=Text you can set the prefix which will be put in the Prefix part of the echo. With C=Colour you can set any of the colours set in the AmIRC configuration.The colours you can use are : C=0 : Normal Text C=1 : Highlighted Text C=2 : Private Messages C=3 : Server Messages C=4 : Mode Changes C=5 : CTCP/DCC Messages BUGS: AmigaDOS Readargs() has a small bug. If you do "ECHO P" or "ECHO P=Prefix P is a letter" or "ECHO C" or "ECHO C=1 C is a letter" AmIRC will not display anything. To cure this enter the template in full like: "ECHO TEXT=P..." EXAMPLES: "ECHO P=Kewlja C=3 This is echo test" RAW === Usage: RAW TEXT/F DESCRIPTION: Sends text to the server in raw format. EXAMPLES: "RAW PRIVMSG phalanx :heya! whats happening?"
