LESSON 17

                                 INTERNET RELAY CHAT

       There are two ways for you to talk directly with other Internet users. You can use the talk
program and talk to one person at a time, or you can use ytalk and talk to one or more people at
the same time. These two programs have in common the fact that your conversations are private,
like a telephone call. This is the Internet Relay Chat ( IRC). IRC has become one of the most
popular Internet resources and is frequented by people in many different countries.
       Thus, all the IRC servers are connected with one another. To bring order to what otherwise
would be conversational chaos; IRC maintains a number of different channels. When you first
connect to IRC you choose which channel to join. Of course, if you like, you can even join more
than one channel at the same time. Most of the conversations will be in English.
       If you would like to mail a message to the President, asking him to join you on IRC, his
address is [email protected].
       Most channel names begin with a # character, for example, #hottub There are public chan-
nels, private channels, and secret “invisible” channels.
       The other thing is that every IRC participant must have a nickname, consisting up to nine
characters, which you can also change at any time.
       So, we are using the nickname Willi and have joined the # hottub channel,
       Once you are connected to IRC, there are a great many commands that you can use. All
IRC commands start with a / (slash) character. The / must be the first character on the line. As
you type a command it will appear on the bottom line of your screen. When you press RETURN,
the command will be sent to IRC.
       The first command you should learn is one to quit. It is:
       /quit
       To display a list of all IRC commands, enter:
       /help
       To display help information about a specific command, use:
       /help command
       followed by that command
