Basic help on services:

Nickname registration: After you have arrived on the network, you can register a nickname, so that others cannot use it, by typing: /ns register <pAsSwOrD> <e-mail>. You will be sent a verification letter to the email addresss you gave (don't worry, we will never give out your email), Follow the instructions in the letter to finish the process.

Nickname identification: Each time you log on, you can identify for your nickname, by typing /ns identify <pAsSwOrD>, or simply /identify <pAsSwOrD>. This will allow you to use the nickname, and to change variow options associated with it. See the online help (/ns help) for full options.

Channel registration: You might want to register a channel, so that you "own" it. Channel services will remember that you are the owner, and you can set all sorts of options for how your channel behaves. To register a channel, you must be opped in that channel. Then type /cs register #channel <pAsSwOrD>.

Channel management: Type /cs help to see all the options you have for channel management. To identify as channel owner, so you can change options, type /cs identify #channel <pAsSwOrD>; or simply /identify #channel <pAsSwOrD>.

If you need further assistance or an introduction on how to open and operate your own channel, please /join #WinChat, the help channel, and ask one of the operators there. Or write us at CService@WinChat.net
