Commands
********
Overview
========
MicroIRC has several builtin commands. 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.

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
.

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:

EXAMPLES:
