like "cd" and you should know your way around your shell's file
system E.g. know where your home directory is. (hint: try "cd" then
"pwd").
- This release is designed for QuakeNet, Undernet, EFnet,
Dalnet,IRCnet and Austnet servers. It should also work on other smaller
networks, perhaps after some manual configuration.
