1) from within the image

• Put the following in a workspace.

1. bot _ IRCBot new.
2. bot nick: 'clever-name'.
   1. bot server: '216.152.64.213'.
3. bot openAsMorph.
4. from the morph click on the "connect" button

• now you have 2 options to make the bot join channels

1. graphically thru the IRCMorph. As if you were using it as a regular IRC client (you could even start talking to people just like normal if you wanted to)
2. leave the bot alone from Squeak, and have it join thru prompt messages

2) from the outside, headlessly

• "squeakvm.exe -headless ircbot.image arg1 arg2 ..."
  • the args will be used if they follow this convention:
    • <setup-key>-><value>
    • you may recognize this as an association
  • the keys are: {nick, userName, fullName, server, port, channel}
    • you can enter as many "channel-gt;#scood" args as you want
      • e.g. vm.exe -headless bot.image channel->squeak channel->test channel->math

Here is an example with the defaults that I already set in the IRCBot code:
