Commands
upIRC supports command completion for supported commands in the chat screen input field. For example, if you enter "/j", the program will fill in "/join #" with all but the first 2 characters highlighted. This saves Graffiti® strokes when inputting commands.
The following is a list of basic commands supported by upIRC. More commands are supported for command completion than are listed here... what's missing are IRCop-only and rarely used server-related commands.
