How do I use XChat?

After you have downloaded XChat, follow these directions:

1.) After accessing XChat, you'll see a window labeled "XChat: Network List." Fill in your desired nicknames.

2.)Then, from the Networks section, select "FreeNode" and click "Connect" in the bottom right corner of the screen. Set the port to 8001.

3.) Another window will pop up called "XChat: (your nickname) @ Freenode" and in 10-30 seconds another window labeled "XChat: Connection Complete" pops up.

4.) Select "Join this channel" and write the desired channel name in the box.

5.) Then, click "OK."

You will then be logged into the channel you specified if it exists.
