==Need General Help Channels to get help with IRC?==
If you're able to connect to IRC and join channels, try asking for help in [ircs://irc.mozilla.org/introduction #introduction], [ircs://irc.mozilla.org/mozillians #mozillians], [ircs://irc.mozilla.org/newbies #newbies], [ircs://irc.mozilla.org/seneca #seneca] or [ircs://irc.mozilla.org/coding #coding]. The folks who hang out in those channels will be happy to help.
You can also get help from IRC by doing:
/help
This will give you a list of all the IRC commands and then you can do /help [command] to get info on that particular command.
<pre>
Example:
/help msg
IRC returns:
MSG [-<server tag>] [-channel | -nick] <targets> <message>
Sends a message to a nick or a channel.
Usually this is used for sending private messages to other persons.
Examples:
/MSG friend Hi, what's up?
</pre>
You can also visit [http://irchelp.org irchelp.org] to learn about how IRC works, or find a client you can use to connect to the chat server.
/!\ '''If you're using ChatZilla,''' note that <tt>/help</tt> is a ChatZilla command which gets you a ChatZilla answer. In ChatZilla, <tt>/commands</tt> returns the list of all known commands (including the aliases you defined yourself), and <tt>/help ''command''</tt> (without the slash before ''command'') gives you help on ''/command''. These are usually enough, but you <u>can</u> get help '''from the server''' when using ChatZilla, by using <tt>/quote help</tt> or (on the Mozilla network) <tt>/helpop</tt>
