It is possible using BitchX to create another “invisible window” and switch between the two simultaneously. to do this type

[#bash] /win new hide

This creates a new hidden window. Now to switch between the two windows.

To go to Window 1, i.e. the one you should be in, hit Alt and 1. To switch to window 2, ie the hidden one, hit Alt and 2. This can be done for more windows obviously. This should aid you chat in two channels more easily. Detaching the window

This one is straight from ur sysadmin :0) While in chat using BitchX and you wish to leave for a short period like if you have to mail some one quickly. Type /detach at the prompt like so…

[#bash] /detach

This detaches BitchX form the terminal but keep the session alive (Unlike Ctrl-Z). To return to chat type scr-bx.

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

[#bash] /query "username"

So you wanted to start a converastion with me you would type…

[#bash] /query prtydude

To end the conversation simply type /query. This works very well with the /win new hide function.
