- Usage: QUERY [<nicknames>|%n|/<command>]
- Starts a private conversation with <nicknames>. All text you
- type that would normally be sent to your channel now goes to
- <nicknames> in the form of MSGs. To cancel a private
- conversation, use QUERY with no arguments. The %n arguments
- allows you to send the query text to a process number n. The
- process must have already been started using a previous call
- to EXEC. It's also possible to query someone on a
- DCC connection with QUERY =nickname.
- Another form has been added which allows you to send messages to
- the specified command with the format QUERY /COMMAND
- and everything you type will be parsed by that /command. Can be
- an alias or anything you like. Note that when querying a command,
- you may need to use XECHO -WINDOW to ensure output goes to the
- right place.
- If "*" is given as a nickname the output is sent to the current
- channel.
