^^^^^^^
Special commands of this IRC client program:
/ABort
You may leave your session non-caring about the status of your TCPIP
connection. Use this only when you can't get out with /bye.
/Channel <new channel>
This command will automatically /part you from your previous channel
before joining this new channel. If you don't want to get confused
by multiple channels, better always use this command instead of /join.
Without argument it will tell you what channel you are on.
/CLear
Clear the screen.
/CMdchar <character>
Use an other character than '/' to introduce commands.
/Execute <command> or more easily just: !<command>
You may execute CMS commands with this, but remember not to stay too
long outside IRC or the IRC-server might close the connection.
/Follow
If you have just been invited to a channel this is an easier way to
join it. rxIRC will remember the name of the channel for you.
/IGnore [<nickname> <more nicknames>]
If you don't want to receive a person's messages, you can use /ignore
on him. Use it again to remove the /ignore. Without arguments you
get the list of people being ignored by you. The ignore function
captures both /msg's and /notice's from the specified person. It
sends a notice back to the sender telling him that you are not
receiving his messages unless you specify it to be silent with
the startup option "(Quiet".
/LOgging [ON | OFF]
You can switch the logging on and off. That means you get a transcription
of your IRC session into the file IRC LOG A0 on disk.
/Query [ <nickname> | <channel> ]
You can get into a dialogue mode with a person, all lines you type are
sent as private message to this person. If you want to talk onto a
channel you might be on at the same time you can do "/ <text>" without
leaving the /query. To leave the /query use /query without arguments.
If you want to use #-type channels you need to /query those, too.
/Reply
This is a shortcut to get into a /query with the person that last sent
you a message.
/Request <nickname> | <channel>
Send a CTCP (Client To Client Protocol) Version Request to a person
or a whole Channel. IRC program that have this implemented will
automatically respond as does rxIRC when it gets such a request.
/SErver <address> [ <port> [ <timeout> ] ]
Switch to another IRC server. rxIRC will exit if the server does not
respond.
/STatus
This outputs some of rxIRC's variables, tells you what channel you are
talking to (Target), what query, where you got invited to last and who
last sent a message to you.
It also shows a /whois of yourself.
/TAlkto <new target>
This is the ONLY command to allow you to switch to another channel when
you are on multiple channels! You can NOT use /join for that.
However this command is even more flexible, you can use it with a nickname,
then all you type is sent to that person, just like /query. The difference
is: You can overlay two dialogues, by having two people in /talkto and
/query, then talk to the queried directly and to the other with the '/ '
command.
/TCPipstatus
Gives a brief not very useful information about your TCPIP status.
/WHO
The /who command can now be used without arguements, if you are talking
to a channel, it will show you the WHO list of that channel.
/Xamine
Quicky to get a /whois of the person that lest sent you a message.
/* <remark> [ */ ]
With this you can add RexX-style comments in your IRC PROFILE.
Lines beginning with /* are skipped.
