How do I save my ircII settings (such as nickname, default server, etc) so that they are in effect the next time I sign onto IRC?
A file named .ircrc (use “ls -a” from your Unix prompt to check if you have one) in your home directory can be used to store settings that you would like to have each time you sign on. The lines in the .ircrc file are interpreted as if you were actually typing them in when you’re on IRC. The / character before commands is optional however. Thus if you wish to join a certain channel each time that you sign on, you could put in the line: join #channelname in your .ircrc file. Unix users also can play with the following shell variables: HOME where your home directory is IRCNAME (text that appears between parentheses in a WHOIS) IRCNICK your default IRC nickname IRCPATH a directory path to LOAD scripts IRCRC a file to use instead of your $HOME/.ircrc IRCSERVER a default server list for ircII TERM your terminal type See the answer to question 1-19) for help on setting a specific variable.
