How do other people change the text that appears in the parentheses () after their names?
If you use the Unix csh or tcsh shells (to find out what shell you’re on, try “echo $SHELL” from your Unix prompt), try the following: setenv IRCNAME “what you want here” If you don’t use csh/tcsh, try: IRCNAME=”what you want here” If you want the setting to be the same each time you login, you need to put that line in your .login (for csh/tcsh users) or your .profile (for other shell users). If you don’t use csh/tcsh, you will also need to add the line “export IRCNAME”. Edit the .login or .profile file using your favourite editor (vi/emacs/joe/pico/etc) If you use a VMS ircII client, edit your login.
