Finding a Channel
-----------------

  Now that you can sign onto IRC, where do you go next? The easiest 
  way to find a channel on IRC is via the "/list" command. It enables 
  you to search through the thousands of channels on DALnet and find 
  one that interests you. The syntax is

  /list <*subject*>

  Let's say you wanted to find a channel that dealt with horses; you'd 
  type:

  /list *horse*

  You would then be provided with a list of channels that all have the 
  word "horse" in their name (for example, #horselovers, #ILoveHorses, 
  and so on). If you wish to register a channel of your own, check our 
  ChanServ page at http://docs.dal.net/docs/chanserv.html. For an 
  advance help of using the "/list" command, you can read 
  http://docs.dal.net/docs/misc.html#2.
