Sean,
In the space you would normally type a line of text for others on the
channel to see, you can type commands preceded by a '/' to cause
other things to happen. For example, if your IRC nick is
'Portlander' and you type:
/me laughs raucously
Everyone else in the channel will see:
*Portlander* laughs raucously
If you type:
/topic Why are we here today?
The channel will be informed (I'm paraphrasing from memory here):
The Topic has been changed to *Why are we here today?* or some header
your client displays will be modified to show the new topic.
Hope this explains it. You can probably get a list of the available
commands by using /help, but I don't remember exactly how.
rgds, russ
"When you come to the edge of all the light you have,

either there will be something solid for you to stand on, or,
you will be taught how to fly."
