Commands:
The following special commands are recognized:
Whisper: Whispering
allows you to say something privately to another
chatter. Other chatters will see you whispering,
but they can't hear what
you're saying. Enter your message like
"/w Handle Message".
For instance, entereing:
/w Bob
How are you?
(and press "Say It!", or the Return key)
Sends the message "How are you?"
privately to Bob. No one else will be able
to see what you said.
Ignore: If someone is being
a pest, you may simply ignore them. Enter the
command "/i Handle" to ignore a specific
person.
For example:
/i Bob
(and press "Say It!" or the Return key)
Will filter out all messages from Bob.
Bob can talk all he wants, but you can't
hear him.
Un-ignore: This allows you
to stop ignoring someone. This command has
the form "/u Handle".
For example:
/u Bob
(and press "Say It!" or the Return key)
Will allow you to once again hear what
Bob is saying. (If you weren't really
ignoring Bob in the first place, this has
no effect)
Action: The action command
lets you describe what you are doing. The
command has the form "/a what you are doing".
For example (assuming your handle is Bob),
entering:
/a taps
his foot impatiently
(and hitting "Say It!" or the Return key)
causes the screen to display:
** Bob taps his foot impatiently ** , allowing
everyone to know what you
are up to.
Boot: You may "boot" people
out of the chat room. This parameter is
configurable by the room owner and may
not be allowed in all chat rooms.
Each chat room has a "booting level" which
corresponds to the number of
different peo ple which have to "boot"
someone before they are knocked out
of the room for a certain period of time.
This command has the form "/b
Handle"
For example, entering:
/b Bob
(and press "Say It!" or the Return key)
Will give Bob the "boot". Once enough people
have "booted" Bob, he will
be banished for a certain number of minutes
(configurable by the room
owner). Bob will see a message which tells
him that he has been booted,
giving the number o f seconds until he
is allowed back in.
Images: Certain built-in images are allowed
to be inserted in the chat room.

anywhere in your message.
