/join #roomname

 

Enter an existing room, or create a new room if this room name doesn't exist.
/admin server
name		 Retrieves administrative information about the IRC server to which you are connected. Often provides an email address for the server administrator and indicates which server administrators are online for that server. If the server name is omitted, then this command will provide information about the server to which you are connected.
/away message The system will automatically send this message to anyone trying to message you. It is often used to tell people that you are away from your computer. If you no longer wish to be seen as "away", then simply type '/away no message' in the text area and the away message will no longer be displayed.
/msg nickserv identify (password) Identifies your registered nick to the system
/info Displays information about the server that you are connected to including up time, address and version.
/invite nickname channelname Used to invite people to join a channel. The server will send a message to the user that you have designated, telling him of the invitation. This is the only way to join a channel that is set mode +i. Example: /invite residue #support.
/links This command will show all the servers currently linked together on the network.
/list Updates the room list
/motd servername Display the current Message of the day for the server that you designate. If you leave the server field blank it will return with the current server you are logged onto.
/nick newname Change your nickname
/notice nickname OR channelname message Sends a message into a channel or to a specific user. Usually reserved for important messages. Example: /notice #ICQChatMaster Check out our new web page /notice Phil What version of mIRC do you use?

Example: /mode Dan +isw (will be invisible, see server msgs & wallops) /mode Dan -s (will no longer see server messages)
/who channelname OR nickname Can be used on both channels and nicknames. When this command is activated on a channel it will display the users and their status in that channel. When used on a user it will show all the channels the user is in, along with other information only if one of the two following conditions is met: you are in channel with 'nickname' or 'nickname' is not invisible (+i).
/whois nick Shows you information about this nickname
/whowas nickname For a certain amount of time after a client has left the server you can still get information about that client. The information is the same as the information in the "whois" command.
