So, if I don't want to learn, how to get the car started and how to use it, 
I don't drive.

So, if I don't want to learn, how to get the computer started and how to

Simple as that. Have fun, I just got one more 80186 (!!) connected to the net.

The command line parameters are best described in the help display

is well described in the help files, which are available on most
sites that carry ircII, the most (ab)used site most likely being

Sure... all you need to do is to type Ctrl-X Ctrl-Z and your IRC
session will be suspended. Ctrl-X has to be your META2 character and
following key bindings have to exist:
	/bind ^X META2_CHARACTER
	/bind META2-^Z STOP_IRC

To get back you have to type 'fg' and your IRC session will appear.

The msa-emacs client (a decent choise IMO), you can get it down to 
147Kb if you remove all the comments in the source.
If you remove all the helptext I bet it would go under 100K, but since I
have not done that this figure is not certain.
If he has emacs on his system this could be a good thing.

You could of course fetch the workin perl client. This thing takes aprox
64Kb without helpfiles.
This requires perl.

It depends on your system. Here are the procedures concerning few of the
most popular operation systems:

MS-DOS: No key available really, if you want to get back to irc afterwards.
        If you just want to exit without signing off, try ctrl-C

OS/2: It's not really a key, it's called a mouse. It's the little (usually)
      white thing near your keyboard. You have to move the little arrow to
      a position where you can see a so called "icon" and click it. Then
      you can use that so called "window" and get back to irc by clicking
      the irc-window

Apple MacIntosh: See OS/2

Windows 3.0, 3.1, NT: See OS/2

XWindows: See OS/2

Unix: There is no key really designed for use with irc, but there is this
      unix-bound key ctrl-z which puts the process (for example irc) to the
      background until the user types "fg" without quotation marks. 

VM$: I don't know but don't even care.

I don't see why everyone says IRC is so addictive... I've been logged
in there on and off all day and found it really boring. I couldn't
find anyone to chat with. Any pointers on how to liven things up?
From what I've seen I'd much rather be on a MUD or Chatter instead
of that. Ick.

Hi.

Is there any ftp sites out there brimming over with GIFs and JPGs of
IRCers?

We were bored on irc one night, so I decided to write a little bot. 
(An automated thing on a conference..)

Anyway, three lines of IRCII code later, we had a bot letting people
play the game "quiz" online. Hours of fun..

This caught my eye..
