Some of this commands are processed locally, whereas others are send 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. MicroIRC 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. Reference ========= JOIN ---- Usage: /JOIN channel[,channel[,...]] [key[,key[,...]]] Usage: /CHANNEL channel[,channel[,...]] [key[,key[,...]]] DESCRIPTION: 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 must submit this after the channel name. MicroIRC 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. EXAMPLES: /JOIN #Amigager Join channel #AmigaGER /JOIN #Amigager,#Amiga Join channels #AmigaGER and #Amiga /JOIN #Amigawarez coolstuff Join channel #Amigawarez with keyword coolstuff. RELATED TOPICS: See LEAVE. LEAVE ----- Usage: /LEAVE [channel[,channel[,...]] DESCRIPTION: Leaves a channel. If you don't give a channel name as a parameter, the channel currently bound to the window in which in the command is entered will be left. EXAMPLES: /LEAVE Leave the channel currently bound to this window. /LEAVE #Amigawarez Leave channel #Amigawarez. RELATED TOPICS: See JOIN. RAW --- Usage: /RAW text DESCRIPTION: Sends text directly to the IRC server without any further processing. Warning: Don't even think about using this command without interior knowledge of the IRC protocol, or you might run into severe trouble. See `RFC 1459' for a description of the IRC protocol. EXAMPLES: /RAW JOIN #IRC-Heros Send the string JOIN #IRC-Heros directly to the IRC server. RELATED TOPICS: `RFC 1459'.

Reference ========= 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: ISCONNECTED ----------- Usage: ISCONNECTED DESCRIPTION: Checks whether a connection is currently established. Returns RC 0 if the link is up, RC 5 otherwise. EXAMPLES: ISCONNECTED; say rc RELATED TOPICS: GETMYNICK --------- Usage: GETMYNICK DESCRIPTION: Returns your current nickname. EXAMPLES: GETMYNICK; say result RELATED TOPICS: See RX_GETSERVERNAME. GETSERVERNAME ------------- Usage: GETSERVERNAME DESCRIPTION: Returns the name of the IRC server you are currently connected to. EXAMPLES: GETSERVERNAME; say result RELATED TOPICS: See RX_GETMYNICK. USERHOST -------- Usage: USERHOST NICK/A DESCRIPTION: Returns the userhost specification belonging to NICK. AMIRC keeps a 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 than, but simply return an error. EXAMPLES: USERHOST Olli; say result RELATED TOPICS: See RX_GETMYNICK. NYI *** Overview ======== Yet to write Index *****
