| 24 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 25 | .B Owl |
|---|
| 26 | is a fully integrated tty based instant messaging client. Currently |
|---|
| 27 | it supports AOL Instant Messenger and MIT Zephyr. It is curses-based, |
|---|
| 28 | allows for emacs style editing of outgoing messages and uses a perl |
|---|
| 29 | configuration language for setting options and customizing message |
|---|
| 30 | formatting. Owl will also run happily without a configuration file. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | Once Owl is started, typing 'h' will display a help screen. Typing |
|---|
| 33 | \':\' enters command mode, allowing the user to type an owl command |
|---|
| 34 | line. |
