On IRC "Chat Rooms" are referred to as "Channels." Each channel is located on a server. An example server is "irc.zirc.org" An example channel is "#smlive" All channels begin with "#".
Joining a Server:
1) On the main screen, you should have a window marked "Status:". In the box at the bottom, you can type commands.
2) The command to join a server is "/server -m irc.server_name.com" (without quotes). For example, to join ZiRC, you would type: "/server -m irc.zirc.org".
