Hi out there! Welcome to Lopster 0.9.3!

*======================================================================*
**  GENERAL                                                           **
*======================================================================*

There a key binding for some action

  o ALT-q	switch a global page left (eg. from library to chat)
  o ALT-w	switch a global page right (eg. from chat to library)
  o ALT-a	switch a channel in the chat page left
  o ALT-s	switch a channel in the chat page right

  o ALT-[1-9]	switch to chat page no [1-9]
  o STRG-[1-9]	switch to global page no [1-9]

Unfortunately in the current Lopster release ALT-w is also used to send
a private message to a seleceted user.

**  THE CHAT                                                          **
*======================================================================*

Lopster has got a powerful chat interface....

* The options popup (use the wide button above the chat window)
* ======================================================================

  o CHECKBUTTON: Do not show any messages from ignored users
    if this button is activated not only private messages are ignored
    but also public messages and emotes.

  o CHECKBUTTON: Show join and part messages
    This should be clear.

  o CHECKBUTTON: Send (un)ingore/friend/enemy messages
    if activated, an emote message will be sent to the current channel
    when you ignore a user, unignore him, append him to the friend or enemy list. 

  o CHECKBUTTON: parse color in outgoing messages
    if activated, all outgoing messages are scaned for color codes.
    The following codes are supported (all with a beginning %)

    Foreground colors:
     %k		(dark black)	BLACK
     %r		(dark red)
     %g		(dark green)
     %y		(dark yellow)	BROWN
     %b		(dark blue)
     %m or %p	(dark purple)
     %c		(dark cyan)
     %w		(dark white)    LIGHT GRAY
     %K		(light black)   DARK GRAY
     %R		(light red)
     %Y		(light yellow)
     %B		(light blue)
     %M or %P	(light purple)
     %C		(light cyan)
     %W		(light white)	WHITE
    Background colors:
     %0		(dark black)	BLACK
     %1		(dark red)
     %2		(dark green)
     %3		(dark yellow)	BROWN
     %4		(dark blue)
     %5		(dark purple)
     %6		(dark cyan)
     %7		(dark white)    LIGHT GRAY
    Others stuff:
     %n         reset fore and backcolor

  o ENTRY: Highlighted Text
    As this entries may contain spaces, they have to be separated with a quote "
    All entries are displayed with a own color in the chat window.

  o ENTRY: Friend Users
    Friend Users are displayed in a different color and the channel joins
    and parts are show always, even if channel part messages are disabled.
    This users have a flower in front of their names in the channel user list.

  o ENTRY: Enemy Users
    Yes. enemy users. This users are automatically ignored at startup
    and they are not allowed to download files from your computer.
    This users have a fist in front of their names in the channel user list.
    This fist appears red if they are ignored otherwise gray.

  o CHECKBUTTON and ENTRY: afk message
    If this button is activated every incoming privated message is automatically
    answered with the given text and the time of turning AFK on. To avoid automatic
    message loops, the afk message is sent at most on time in two seconds.
    (see command: /afk)

* The mail popup (use the button left to the chat window)
* ======================================================================

  Here you can save messages for specified users not online (or maybe online, but
  wouldn't you use /whisper instead?)

  If a User appears in any way (channel join, server join - noticed when in hotlist,
  public message, private message, operator message, global message, emote) and you 
  have saved a message for this user, then this text is sent to this user as 
  a private message.
  (see commands: /mail, /delmail)


* The text entry field
* ======================================================================

  Here you can give commands and write public messages for the current channel
  To list all available commands use the command /help

  If no command is given, Lopster *converts* the text and sends it as
  a public message to the current channel.
  Convert means, that you can insert several codes. For the moment this are:

    o %<color>	if the *parse colors* button is activated
    o \n	for a new line
    
  Some other codes will follow (any suggestion?)

  There are some key shotcuts for the text entry field:

    o ALT-w	if a user is selected in the channel user list, the text is sent
		to this user as a private message (w=whisper)

    o TAB	if the line starts with a slash /, the following command will be
		completed if possible, if not another TAB will show all potential
		commands.
		if the line does not start with a slash, the text is completed to
		a username in the current channel. This also works if you prepend
		an @.
