+: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, or those to
+ particular nick(s). Use !delmsg to delete messages sent *to* you.
+ There is no way to untell individual messages to the same nick.
+
+:tellme
+!set tellme configures how you receive messages sent with !tell:
+ set tellme insecure When I see you. (Default.)
+ set tellme secure Hide body until secure ident.
+ set tellme refuse Do not accept messages.
+ set tellme mailto <email-addr> By email. (Secure nicks only.)
+and also when to consider them delivered (see `help !untell'):
+ set tellme unreliable Tell you once, then forget.
+ set tellme pester <interval> Remind until you say !delmsg
+ set tellme reliable <interval> Like pester, but identify req'd.
+ 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.)
+
+:delmsg
+delmsg [<nick> ...]
+ Forgets about messages I've told you about: 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.

+: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.
