- Synopsis:

-
- Description:
- The SERVER command allows you to manipulate your client's internal
- list of servers, as well as to switch servers. If no arguments are
- given, your current server list is printed. Any attempt to connect to
- a new server not already in your list will append it to your list.
- Additionally, servers can be associated with specific ircII windows,
- which can be useful when being on multiple networks at once.
-
- Your initial server list is compiled into the client. This is usually
- a minimal list. This is overridden if the client can find the system-
- wide ircII.servers file, which is usually a bit more extensive. Users
- can further override this file's list by setting their respective
- IRCSERVER environment variables.
-
- Options:
- +<server> associate a new server to your current window (this will
- also connect you to that server)
- -<server> disassociate a server from your current window (this will
- also disconnect you from that server)
- -add add a server to your server list
- -delete delete server with given server index from your list
