 This detaches BitchX form the terminal but keep the session alive (Unlike Ctrl-Z). To return to chat type scr-bx.
+==== Alias on BitchX ====
+Alias are great feature in BitchX. Instead of continuously typing a command, you can create an alias as follows:
+For example, you want to create an alias for the following:
+<code text>
+[#bash] /window new double on hide
+</code>
+This may take a long time to type, instead create an alias:
+<code text>
+[#bash] /alias win window new double on hide
+</code>
+Now /win can be specified instead of typing the full command.
+==== Private Chat session ====
+If you find yourself constantly messageing someone, especially if ye are having a good discussion using the /query function. To start a conversation with some-one type
+<code text>
+[#bash] /query "username"
+</code>
+So you wanted to start a converastion with me you would type...
+<code text>
+[#bash] /query prtydude
+</code>
+To end the conversation simply type /query. This works very well with the /win new hide function.
+==== Create Log for conversation ====
+It is possible to change some of the settings in BitchX (bah it's a *unx program what did you expect :0)) to see which variables there is in BitchX type /set.\\
+(Note: you might want to log your session first as the list scrolls up fairly fast)
+Now when you have picked out what variable you want to changing (Please note that there is a certain amount of these variables can only be changed by admins =))
+there is a variable called LOGFILE. This is where the log's of chat are recorded. To change this variable (And most others) simlpy type
+<code text>
+[#bash] /set {NAME_OF_VARIABLE} [Value of Variable]
+</code>
+So here it would be
+<code text>
+[#bash] /set LOGFILE ~/irc/chat.log
+</code>
+This now means that chat's logfile is pointed to a text file called chat.log in a folder called irc in your home directory.i But you'll probally want to start the logging proccess as well :oP. To do so..
+<code text>
+[#lobby] /set LOG on
+</code>
+This starts the logging service to the file we specified earlier on. There are a good few variables.
+==== Time stamp Setup ====
+Enable timestamp
+<code text>
+ /set timestamp on
+</code>
+==== Saving your environgment ====
+To save all you settings
+<code text>
+/save
