~L/? ~G- This help screen.

~L/q ~G- Quit (exit chat, go back to THC)

~L/t ~G- Change "Channel" - NanoCHAT supports 256 "channels" so that separate
     discussions can be carried out without interference or confusion
     with other conversations.  Include the channel number you want to
     change to, example:
~P
                /t42
~G
                ... this will take you to channel 42.  Only other users
                    on channel 42 will be able to see what you publicly
                    type.
~O
     By default, you start out on Channel 1.

~L/s ~G- "Status" - gives a quick summary of all nodes using NanoCHAT

~L/sm~G- "Show Members" - gives a quick user list

~L/ga~G- "Generic Action" - crudely mimics a popular Glop feature.  This command
     causes the system to make a third-party statement about you.  Here
     is an example:
~P
             /ga is laughing his fool head off!
~G
     This might cause the following to be displayed to everyone on your
     channel:
~L
             Waffle is laughing his fool head off!

~L/a ~G- "Action" - This invokes SmartActions.
~G
     Alternatively, you can just type / followed by the action, e.g.:
~P
             /kick Tommy
~G
     This is functionally equivalent to:
~P
             /a kick Tommy

~L/a?~G- "Actions Help" - Detailed help for SmartActions.
~L/al~G- "Actions List" - List all available SmartActions.

~L/h ~G- "Handle" - lets you change your online name in NanoCHAT
      Here is an example:
~L
             /h Waffle

~G     This will change your handle to "Waffle".  You have the option of
     permanently saving the handle as your default, or just leaving it
     as a temporary handle.

~L/p ~G- "Private" - Anything you type on the same line with /p will go to
     the node you specify only.  Here is an example:
~L
             /p2 Hey, Larry, what's up?
~G
         This will cause the following message to be displayed to the
         user on node 2 (hence the /p2):
~N
             /P from Waffle (node 1): Hey, Larry, what's up?
~G
         This feature has a couple of shorthand forms which do exactly the
         same thing.
~L
             /2 Hey, Larry, what's up?
             /larry Hey, Larry, what's up?
~G
         In the latter form, you can use the first few letters in the other
         guy's handle, or if he is using funny high-bit ANSI characters
         that you can't type, you can specify a few characters from in the
         middle of the handle, for example:
~L
             /arry Hey, Larry, what's up?

~L/x ~G- "Squelch" - Disallows /p messages from a user.  To sqelch someone
     type /x followed by their node number, e.g.
~P
             /x2
~G
         This will stop whomever is on node 2 from sending you /p
         messages.  To allow a user to /p again, or "unsquelch",
         simply repeat the command, e.g. /x2 a second time will
         unsquelch node 2.

~L/xa~G- "Squelch All" - Disallows /p messages from all users!  This will
     actually squelch everyone who is on at the time, however if someone
     logs off and comes back, they will be able to /p you again.  You can
     unsquelch everyone by typing /xa again, and you can selectively
     unsquelch certain users using the above /x command.

~L/pg~G
~Lpage~G- "Page Caller" - This sends a message to another caller who is
     online at the same time, inviting the user to chat in NanoCHAT.  If
     the other caller answers, she is taken into your NanoCHAT channel
     automatically.  ~L/pg~G and ~Lpage~G are identical in function.

~L/tg~G
~Ltelegram~G- "Telegram" - A telegram is a brief message (255 characters or
     less) which can be sent to anyone logged onto the BBS provided they
     are not transferring a file, entering a message or using an external
     program such as a game door.  ~L/tg~G and ~Ltelegram~G are identical
     in function.

~L/tt~K<node>~G - Participate in a "Tele-Trial" - by using this command
     you are casting a vote to remove the user on the node you specify
     from the system!  If enough votes are cast, the user will be kicked
     off!  ~OOne vote per user...

~L/u1~G - Enter your "hello" message, which announces to
     other users when you are logging on.  The <text> can be up to 6
     lines and may include embedded characters.

~L/u2~G - Enter your "goodbye" message, which announces to
     other users when you are logging off.  The <text> can be up to 6
     lines and may include embedded characters.

~L/m ~G- Message - This displays one of the system messages which are
     automatically displayed from time to time.  There are up to 36
     system messages from A to Z and 0 to 9.

        Example:
~L
             /ma
~G
        will display the /ma message (if present).

~L/m+~K<slot>~G - Enter Message.  If you have been assigned a message
     slot by the sysop, you can enter text into it using this command.

~L/m- - Toggle /m auto messages on and off.

~L><user>~G - Direct your comments to one user, but keep it public.
        This probably needs some explaining.  With this command, you can
        speak publicly, but it will be known by all on the channel to whom
        your message is intended.  This helps people keep track of more
        than one conversation on the same channel.

        There are several forms for this.  You can enter > followed by the
        user's node and then the message, or use a full or partial handle.
        Here are some examples.
~L
        >larry Hey, Larry, how about them Leafs?
        >arr Hey, Larry, how about them Leafs?
        >2 Hey, Larry, how about them Leafs?
~G
        Any of these might generate:
~P
        (1) Waffle (to Larry): Hey, Larry, how about them Leafs?
~G
        Except for Larry, who sees:
~P
        (1) Waffle (to you): Hey, Larry, how about them Leafs?
~G
        There are a few "special" cases of this.

        You can specify your own node or handle, and it will say (to
        himself) or (to herself) to everyone on the channel except you, who
        will still see (to you).  You can also say something to >all which
        shows up as (to everyone) or to >none which shows up as (to
        no-one).

        ~O Anything else you type will be sent to everyone else on your
        channel!
