Greetings; been reading and studying Internet Relay Chat and think I
have a basic knowledge about it but one problem escapes me that
several tutorials, FAQ', readme's and books haven't mentioned yet.
www.irchelp.org has several files but I see no mention of
"registering" anywhere, unless my eyes are worse than I thought..
With everything setup per the above and invoking BitchX; the bundled
Slackware, 2.4.29, IRC client, the status line reports:
" Nickname not registered yet."
For the life of me I can't seem to find out how, where, what, when
to "register" my selected nickname.. Am I missing something simple??
Invoking BitchX sans a server entry; the program scrolls thru many
irc server sites but nothing really happens because of that register
report.. At least /quit works... <grin> TIA..
