Basic IRC Commands
Leaves a message indicating that you are currently not paying attention to IRC. When someone sends you a message, they will automatically see your away message. Using /AWAY with no message marks you as no longer being away and removes your previous message.
example: /away Off to get something to eat, back in a moment.
/invite nickname #channel - Invites a nickname to a channel that you are on.
/join #channel - Joins the specified channel. - example: /join #irchelp
/list [#channel] [-MIN #] [-MAX #]
Lists currently available channels. You can also tell mIRC to show only channels with a minimum and a maximum number of people. If you specify a #channel then mIRC will only list information for that channel. If you specify wildcards, eg. *mirc* then mIRC will list all channels that contain the word mirc in them.
example: /list
example: /list -min 5 -max 20
example: /list #mirc
example: /list *mirc*
