* 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.
Since lopster 0.9.8 there is the ability to connect to a server directly listed 
in 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 FIELD: Show join messages
    Here you can specify the verbose level of the channel joins.
    Joins of your friends are shown always
    * None: No channel joins are shown
    * All:  All channel joins are shown

  o FIELD: Show part messages
    Here you can specify the verbose level of the channel joins.
    Parts of your friends are shown always
    * None:         No channel parts are shown
    * Recent Users: Only users are shown that interacted in chat within a
                    specified time. You can setup this time period.
    * All:          All channel parts are shown.

  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: 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)
     %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

    (see next section for examples)

  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,
  a private message if in a private page and a messages to all Moderators+ if you
  are in Console (MOD+ only).
  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
      Example: This is a %Rlight red, %gnormal green, %Blight blue %ncolor
      
  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.

* Gerneral
--------------------
On startup the shared list is loaded from a saved file, if the library was in a
*saved* status on last exit. Normally the Library is in a saved status, if the 
entry below the list contains a filename for the shared list.

The list changes to a saved status, if..
1) you save the list to disk
2) you load a shared list from disk

The list changes to a unsaved status, if..
1) you remove files via the right click popup

The list doesnt change its status, if..
1) you do a *refresh files* (this is also done when you add directories)

Adding files
--------------------
To add files to the Library, simply add a folder to the Shared Files in
Preferences->Shares and press the OK button. The shared list will be refreshed 
automatically.

* Removing files
--------------------
To remove files, remove a directory from the folder list in the preferences.
Onother way to remove files is to select a file or a directory in the Library
and to select the *Remove* entry in the popup menu (right click).

* Saving, loading, deleting shared lists
--------------------
 o To save the shared list, simple enter a filename in the entry field below the list
   and press the *save* button. The list is saved to the location ~/.lopster/share/
 o To load a saved list, press the button *Files* with with the blue arrow below the
   tab. There you can select it. With this button you can also delete a saved list.
