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. |
