+:tell
+tell <nick> <message ...>
+ Leaves a message for someone, which will be delivered according to
+ their `!set !tellme'. I will tell you about your undelivered tells
+ whenever I see you arriving, or when you say `!ping'. See also
+ `help !untell' and `help !delmsg'.
+
+:untell
+!untell <nick> ...
+ Forgets about all message(s) you've sent with !tell to particular
+ nick(s). Use !delmsg to delete messages sent *to* you. There is no
+ way to untell individual messages to the same nick. If your nick is
+ secure, you must !identify yourself to use untell.
+
+:tellme
+!tellme repeats any messages you have outstanding.
+!set tellme configures how you receive messages sent with !tell:
+ set tellme insecure When I see you.
+ set tellme secure [<!interval>] Hide body (reminding) until ident.
+ set tellme refuse Do not accept messages.
+ set tellme mailto <email-addr> By email. (Secure nicks only.)
+Default: `secure 600'. For insecure nicks `secure' == `insecure'.
+To set when to consider messages delivered (see `help !untell'):
+ set tellme unreliable Tell you once, then forget.
+ set tellme remind [<every-interval> [<within-interval>]]
+ Remind until you talk on channel within <within-interval>
+ of me having told you. (Default is remind 1h 30s.)
+ set tellme pester <interval> Remind until you say !delmsg
+
+:delmsg
+delmsg [<nick> ...]
+ Forgets about !tell messages I've passed on: either all of them, or
+ only those from certain nicks. Necessary if you !set !tellme pester
+ or reliable, and also works with remind, but not with unreliable.
+ Use !untell to delete messages you've sent, rather than received.
+
:seen
seen <nick>
Tells you or the channel when I last saw that nick in
I'll give you channel operator privilege, if you're a manager.
See `help !manager'.
+:leave
+leave [<channel>] on channel
+leave <channel> (privately)
+ I'll leave the channel, if you're a manager. For an unmanaged
+ channel, I'll leave when I'm the last one on the channel.

+channel [<chan>] topic see|tell +|-|= <chan>|* ...
+ I can inform one channel about topic changes in another. Each
+ channel has a `see list' and a `tell list' which may be empty or
+ contain some channel names and/or a `*'. I'll tell channel #spy
+ whenever I see the topic change in #showoff if: #showoff or * is
+ mentioned in #spy's see list, and #spy or * is mentioned in
+ #showoff's tell list, and at least one those mentions is not a `*'.
+ + adds items to the relevant list, - removes them, and = sets the
+ list to exactly those items specified. Both lists are empty by
+ default, but a good permissive value is just `*' for both lists.

I only store settings for registered nicks. For `insecure' nicks
- anyone who currently holds that nick can change its settings,
- including securing it to their username. `secure' nicks can only
- have their settings changed by the user to which they are
- registered, after identifying themselves (see `help !identify').

+:ping
+ping [<string>]
+Replies with hopefully-useful information, including:
+* Current time, number of IRC and system users, and load averages.
+* Most recent traffic on a relevant channel (if sent privately, any
+ channel we're both on, otherwise the channel in question.) Only
+ actual message traffic counts, and \!-commands don't count either.
+* The specified string, if any.
+I can tell you this automatically if you like - see `help !marktime'.
+If you have undelivered messages sent with !tell by or to you, I'll
+let you know about those too (privately, if you ping on channel).
+
+:marktime
+!set marktime off Only an explicit `!ping' command sends info.
+set marktime once Send ping info shortly after I first see you.
+set marktime <!interval> Also send info regularly (min. interval 5m).
+
+:interval
+Intervals in commands are <amount><unit>, where the unit is one of
+s for seconds, ks for kiloseconds, m for minutes, h for hours.
