ZPyIrc Help

Interface

The interface of ZPyIrc is based on the CGI:IRC one and therefore we're gonna take the help from that product. It is very similar to a standard graphical IRC client, it should be easy to use if you are familiar with IRC clients. Along the top is a list of tabs, there will be a tab here for each channel you are in and each query (private message) you have open. To close a window click the X button on the far right of the tab list.
The userlist is on the right, when in a channel tab it will show a list of all the people in that channel. Double clicking a nickname will open a query with that user or perform whichever other action you select in the select box at the bottom.
The text entry box should be simple, the little arrow to the right of the text entry area shows a toolbar that allows easy typing of colour, bold and underline. It is also where you enter a ll the commands.

Commands

Commands begin with / and should be familiar to anyone who has used IRC before - here is a quick summary of the most useful commands. of information).

/me	This turns the text after /me into an action, eg: /me looks around.
/join	Joins the specified channel. eg: /join #cgiirc
