Commands

MSG (PRIVMSG)

Usage: `/MSG nick_or_channel[,nick,...] text'

Sends a Private Message to one or more users. Note that this is different from a /DCC Chat, in that a /MSG (PRIVMSG) is sent thru the IRC server to the recipient. Note that the `TAB' key will cycle back and forth through the users who have /MSG'ed you. This will appear in the input string gadget, and you may simply add your message after it.

Alternatives: M-RMSG

Examples:

`/MSG Kenneth Heya Dude! How's Florida?'
     Send the message: "Heya Dude! How's Florida?" to user 'Kenneth'.

`/MSG Kenneth,Aerosoul I am in Pittsburgh'
     Sends the message "I am in Pittsburgh" to Kenneth and Aerosoul.
