Hello people - its Howard Feiges here I guess I am honered to be the first person to post a "real" post here on the irc newsgroup... Actually, I have a question A few monts ago I was on IRC and someone showed me how to split the screen into two parts, with one part being one channel and the other part being the other channel... This was really neat, but it requried some real hokey commands.... and I just plain forget how to invoke the "split-screen" that I was able to do once before.... Can somoene please explain to me (again) how to do the split screen feature I just mentioned.... Actually, It would be really neat if there was an IRC "guide" (not the man pages) that I could read (I HATE READING THE MAN PAGES.... you can imagine why...) that would explain to me everythin there is to know about IRC........ coolish - and thanx... any help will be appreciated...

There is a nice IRCprimer, which doesn't teach you everything,
but it is an exellent way to start. it was originally written
by Nicolas Pioch and was in PostScript format, but there is an
ASCII-version of it available by FTP to adagio.fy.chalmers.se -
/pub/irc/docs/IRCprimer.txt.Z .
Maybe there is a copy of it somewhere nearer, but the above
mentioned place I am sure it exeists at least.
most kind regards, Owe Rasmussen - d1rasmus@dtek.chalmers.se

howard: you can find out much more about irc from typing /help on the command line. Basically, to answer your question of the split screen; they are called windows and are created by typing /window new on the command line.... you close the window by typing /window quit you can have more than one window at the same time also! have fun... mike!
