There are generally about 30 Basic IRC Commands.

These commands allow you to navigate through channels and communicate with other Users.

General IRC User commands :

Effects : This command allows you to part a channel that you are in.

Command : /list
Example : /list <key word: Sing>
Effects :    This command shows you a list of channels on the MindForge network.
                  All channels with "Sing" in the name will be listed.
 
Command : /msg <Nick> <Message>
Example : /msg GUY14 Hi there.
Effects : This command allows you to send a private message to the user.

Command : /query <Nick>
Example : /query Guy14
Effects:     Opens a query (private) window to this user where you can send them a private message.
                   If so desired, the window can be used to continue a private conversation.
 
Command : /whois <Nick>
Example : /whois Guy14

Command : /away <Away Message>
Example : /away Eating

Command : /away
Effects : This command without parameters marks you as "no longer away" or "back".

Command : /invite <Nick> <#Channel>

                This command is used ONLY when you wish to invite a user into a channel set to 2+i mode.
                 Do NOT use this command to forcefully invite a user into a channel, as it can be considered spam.

Effects : This command allows you to express an action.

Command : /ignore <Nick/Address>
