Guidelines to ircII

ircII is a program that gives the user a lot of control, if he wants it. You can set up a lot of details, define how the screen will look, program some simple functions, and so on.

To start ircII

When you have started the ircII by writing irc in the prompt from the UNIX-machine (solarislogin.stud.ntnu.no), the screen will look a lot like this:

The two lines at the botton is very special. The line at the bottom is where you give the commands to irc while the line above is a statusline where channel modus, your irc-nick is listed.

IRC commands

Everything that you write in the kommandoline must have a / first to be accepted as a command to IRC. Text without / first will be sent to your query-channel.

Channels

There's a lot of channels on IRC, and they have different subjects, everything from politics, philosophy and religion, and national channels like #norge and #trondheim. To see a list of channels, write /list You enter a channel by writing /join kanalnavn To enter the channel #ntnu like this: /join #ntnu

If there arent any on that channel before you write /join kanalnavn then the channel will be created, and you will be the only user on that channel. Other users can enter your channel, unless you put a stopper for it.
