+/join <channel> [<channel> ...]
+
+Joins one or more channels, creates new screens if possible. If a
+screen can't be created, channel text will be sent to the [server]
+screen, and "/m #channel" must be used, to send to the channel.
+
+Also, you can use "/join 0" to leave (part) every channel you're
+in. If you do this, the channel screens won't be closed.
+
+The IRC protocol has an optional rarely-used "key" parameter, which
+works like a password to get into a channel. This isn't directly
+supported in FujiNetChat, but you can do this:
+
+ /quote join <channel> <key>
+ /query <channel>
+
+...although that channel won't be automatically rejoined if you
+disconnect and reconnect.

/m <nick|channel> <text>

-PRIVMSG to nick or channel.
-/q <nick> [<msg>]
-/query <nick> [<msg>]
-Creates a screen for PMs to/from <nick> if possible. If <msg> is

+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/quit [<msg>]
Quits IRC with optional quit message.

-/part [#chan] [<msg>]
-Parts (leaves) a channel. If no #chan is given, the current screen's
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+/p [<channel>] [<msg>]
+/part [<channel>] [<msg>]
+
+Parts (leaves) a channel. If no channel is given, the current screen's
channel is parted (if you're in a channel screen). If there's a screen
-for the channel, it gets closed.
+for the channel, it DOES NOT get closed (it will be re-used if you
+join the channel again). To part a channel and close its screen,
+use Start+Control+X.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/names [<channel>]
+
Shows the list of users in a channel. Uses the current screen's channel,
if no <channel> given. On most networks, it's not very useful to use
/names on a channel you haven't joined.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/topic [<channel>]
+
Shows the channel topic and its creator. With no <channel>, uses the
current screen's channel.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/ping [<nick>]
+
With no argument: ping the server. With arg: CTCP ping the nick.
-The contents of RTCLOK are sent as the ping data, so when the
-PONG response is received, the round-trip time can be shown, with
-up to 1/60 (NTSC) or 1/50 (PAL) second accuracy.
-TODO: not implemented yet.
+When the ping response is received, the latency (round trip time)
+will be calculated and printed in the [server] screen.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/me <action>
+
CTCP ACTION. Only works in a channel or query screen (eventually
it'll work in [server] and [private] too)
-/ver <nick>
-CTCP VERSION.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+/ver [<nick>]
+With <nick>, sends a CTCP VERSION request. Without <nick>, gets
+the server's version information.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/info [<nick>]
+
With <nick>, CTCP CLIENTINFO. Without <nick>, INFO command for the
server.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/ctcp <nick> <command> [<text>]
+
Send arbitrary CTCP commands.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/list <arg(s)>
+
This command will be sent to the server as-is. The only reason it's a
local command is so the argument can be required: sending LIST without
any arguments lists every channel on the server, which isn't useful.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/color <bg> [<fg>] [<status-active>] [<status-highlight>]
+
Set colors. This should be on a per-screen basis, eventually.
TODO: this only takes bg and fg arguments, currently.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/click
+
Toggles the keyclick sound, if you're on an Atari XL or XE. On the
400/800, it does nothing (sorry).
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/chans
+
List all channels we've joined. This will actually be limited to
something like 20 (who joins more than 20 channels anyway?)
TODO: not implemented yet.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/quote <cmd>
+
Send raw IRC protocol to the server. This bypasses local command
parsing.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
/alert <number>
+
Set the type of alert that happens when you're PMed or highlighted
in a channel. 0 = none, 1 = beep, 2 = flash, 3 = beep and flash.
