http://www.irchelp.org/ Everything you could possibly need to know about IRC. If you don't feel like reading this here's a few quick commands which should get you through the Debian party:
/server SERVER connect to SERVER /join CHANNEL join CHANNEL (channel names begin with #, like #debian) /part CHANNEL leave CHANNEL /quit quit IRC /msg Bob MESSAGE... Send private message to Bob Anything you type that doesn't begin with a / is sent to the channel as a message. Anything you read in those documents that mentions ircII also applies to BitchX, as it is just an improved version. -- /-----------------------------------------------------------\ | Eric Gillespie, Jr. | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |----------------------------<*>----------------------------| | "Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and | | depriving him of his life there exists only a difference | | of degree." | | --Emperor Paul Muad'dib (Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah) | \-----------------------------------------------------------/
