| 15 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
---|
[fa1b15b] | 16 | .B BarnOwl |
---|
[bad4496] | 17 | is a fully integrated tty\(hybased instant messaging client. Currently |
---|
| 18 | it supports AOL Instant Messenger, MIT Zephyr, Jabber, IRC, and Twitter. It is |
---|
| 19 | curses\(hybased, allows for emacs\(hystyle editing of outgoing messages, and |
---|
| 20 | uses Perl as an extension and configuration language. \fBBarnOwl\fP will |
---|
[fa1b15b] | 21 | also run happily without a configuration file. |
---|
[7d4fbcd] | 22 | |
---|
[bad4496] | 23 | Once \fBBarnOwl\fP is started, typing \(oqh\(cq will display a help screen. |
---|
| 24 | Typing \(oq:\(cq enters command mode, allowing the user to type a \fBBarnOwl\fP |
---|
[fa1b15b] | 25 | command line. |
---|
