* General
-----------------------
If you want to connect to a server you have to add it to the *Selected Server*
list. To do this you may specify one manually or via the Napigator list.

* The Napigator List
-----------------------
The Napigator server list is a list of napster servers that are registered
on napigator. To view this list just do a right click and select *Refresh List*

* Meta Servers
-----------------------
A Meta Server is a server that internally selects a napster server address
and returns it to the client. The original Windows Napster client uses
server.napster.com:8875 as Meta Server to connect to the Napster network.

If you want to connect to napster like the windows napster client does, just
add the _meta_ server server.napster.com with port 8875.

**  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 scanned 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)

     %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 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 sends a public message if in a channel page and
  a private message if in a private page.
  Any chat message you send will be color parsed, if color parsing is activated.
  To use colors, you have to insert codes:

    o %<color>       // see above
    
  There are some key shotcuts for the text entry field:

    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 @.

*======================================================================*
**  THE LIBRARY                                                       **

In the Library the files are stored you want to share with the other users.

Preferences->Paths and press the OK button. The directories are scanned 
automatically.

Onother way to remove files is to select a file or a directory in the Library
