Entering commands
By OperaNet. Monday, 2. January 2006, 09:44:56
In order to use the services on OperaNet, you will have to learn how to enter commands.
Commands, such as "/nick" to change your nickname, all have a slash ("/") in front of them, and they can be entered from anywhere you would normally type in text to chat to others. Commands will be sent directly to the IRC server, and will be hidden from other users.
Examples
This changes your nickname to "NewNick01":
Using this command, you will join the "#opera" channel:
This sends the text "help" in a private message to the user "NickServ":
"NickServ" is the official OperaNet nick services bot, and it will respond with a brief help text.
Again, the command will be invisible to other users even though it is entered in the same place you would otherwise type in normal text.
