NickServ allows you to "register" a nickname and
	prevent others from using it. The following
	commands allow for registration and maintenance of
	nicknames; to use them, type /msg NickServ command.
	For more information on a specific command, type
	/msg NickServ HELP command.

	Syntax: /msg NickServ REGISTER password [email]
 
	Syntax: REGISTER password [email]

	Registers your nickname in the NickServ database.  Once
	your nick is registered, you can use the SET and ACCESS
	commands to configure your nick's settings as you like
	them.  Make sure you remember the password you use when
	registering - you'll need it to make changes to your nick
	later.  (Note that case matters!  ANOPE, Anope, and
	anope are all different passwords!)

	Guidelines on choosing passwords:

	Passwords should not be easily guessable.  For example,
	using your real name as a password is a bad idea.  Using
	your nickname as a password is a much worse idea ;) and,
	in fact, NickServ will not allow it.  Also, short
	passwords are vulnerable to trial-and-error searches, so
	you should choose a password at least 5 characters long.
	Finally, the space character cannot be used in passwords.

	The parameter email is optional and will set the email
	for your nick immediately. However, it may be required
	on certain networks.
	Your privacy is respected; this e-mail won't be given to
	any third-party person.

	This command also creates a new group for your nickname,
	that will allow you to register other nicks later sharing
	the same configuration, the same set of memos and the
	same channel privileges. For more information on this
	feature, type /msg NickServ HELP GROUP.

	Syntax: /msg NickServ GROUP target password
 
	Syntax: GROUP target password

	This command makes your nickname join the target nickname's
	group. password is the password of the target nickname.

	Joining a group will allow you to share your configuration,
	memos, and channel privileges with all the nicknames in the
	group, and much more!

	A group exists as long as it is useful. This means that even
	if a nick of the group is dropped, you won't lose the
	shared things described above, as long as there is at
	least one nick remaining in the group.

	You can use this command even if you have not registered
	your nick yet. If your nick is already registered, you'll
	need to identify yourself before using this command. Type
	/msg NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more information. This
	last may be not possible on your IRC network.

	It is recommended to use this command with a non-registered
	nick because it will be registered automatically when
	using this command. You may use it with a registered nick (to
	change your group) only if your network administrators allowed
	it.

	You can only be in one group at a time. Group merging is
	not possible.

	Note: all the nicknames of a group have the same password.

	Syntax: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password
 
	Syntax: IDENTIFY password

	Tells NickServ that you are really the owner of this
	nick.  Many commands require you to authenticate yourself
	with this command before you use them.  The password
	should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER
	command.

	Syntax: /msg NickServ LOGOUT
 
	Syntax: LOGOUT

	This reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command, i.e.
	make you not recognized as the real owner of the nick
	anymore. Note, however, that you won't be asked to reidentify
	yourself.

	Syntax: /msg NickServ DROP [nickname]
 
	Syntax: DROP [nickname]

	Drops your nickname from the NickServ database.  A nick
	that has been dropped is free for anyone to re-register.

	You may drop a nick within your group by passing it
	as the nick parameter.

	In order to use this command, you must first identify
	with your password (/msg NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more
	information).

	Syntax: /msg NickServ ACCESS ADD mask
 
	Syntax: ACCESS ADD mask
	        ACCESS DEL mask
	        ACCESS LIST

	Modifies or displays the access list for your nick.  This
	is the list of addresses which will be automatically
	recognized by NickServ as allowed to use the nick.  If
	you want to use the nick from a different address, you
	need to send an IDENTIFY command to make NickServ
	recognize you.

	Examples:

	    ACCESS ADD anyone@*.bepeg.com
	        Allows access to user anyone from any machine in
	        the bepeg.com domain.

	    ACCESS DEL anyone@*.bepeg.com
	        Reverses the previous command.

	    ACCESS LIST
	        Displays the current access list.

	Syntax: /msg NickServ SET option parameters
 
	Syntax: SET option parameters

	Sets various nickname options.  option can be one of:

	    AUTOOP     Should services op you automatically.

	on a specific option.

	If you select QUICK, the user will be given only 20 seconds

	KILL option.

	Allows you to recover your nickname if someone else has
	taken it; this does the same thing that NickServ does
	automatically if someone tries to use a kill-protected
	nick.

	When you give this command, NickServ will bring a fake
	user online with the same nickname as the user you're
	trying to recover your nick from.  This causes the IRC
	servers to disconnect the other user.  This fake user will
	remain online for NickServ to ensure that the other
	user does not immediately reconnect; after that time, you
	can reclaim your nick.  Alternatively, use the RELEASE
	command (/msg NickServ HELP RELEASE) to get the nick
	back sooner.

	In order to use the RECOVER command for a nick, your
	current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's
	access list, you must be identified and in the group of
	that nick, or you must supply the correct password for
	the nickname.

	Syntax: /msg NickServ INFO nickname [ALL]
