[Adrián Mena]

Thank you, I'm already in the chanell, a question, where can I start
learning how to user reaper with a screen reader in my case NVDA, is
it useful to read the reaper guide, or where can I start from zero.
Thank you and I hope to learn a lot.

> Hello there guys
> As promised, This is a tutorial about Instantbird client on windows,
> which can help you to setup instantbird to connect and chat on RWP
> chatroom. I will try to provide clear; but short instructions to get you
> setup quickly. If you faced any problems, please mail me off list to not
> annoy current RWP users on the MailingList.
> Also, at the end of our tutorial I will introduce you to our bot in the
> channel that can do some cool things; It reacts to some commands that
> you give it.
> Alright. here we go, follow the steps and you're good to go.
> step 1. Download and install Instantbird.
> Direct link:
> http://ftp.instantbird.com/instantbird/nightly/latest-trunk/instantbird-1.6a1pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe
> Just download and run the installer; Make sure you'll get a shortcut on
> the desktop.
> step 2. run instantbird's shortcut on the desktop.
> At this point, two windows will be openned for you. The first one is
> instantbird main client, and the second one is the account manager which
> will be focused when you launch instantbird for the first time.
> Step 3. Setup your account.
> At this point, with Instantbird and account manager openned, you should
> be on the select protocol page. each page has a next, back, and cancel
> button. we will fill the needed pages and hit next.
> First page: Select protocol, When you scroll down the list, you will
> hear the protocols that Instantbird supports. just arrow down untill you
> hear, "Show more protocols". press enter on it, and now You'll have a
> bigger list. Choose IRC on the list, and hit enter. (This will move you
> to the next page, If pressing enter didn't work, press tab and hit next)
> Second page: Here, provide your username. Make sure it's something
> unique as you are going to connect to a big network; If you connect with
> a username that is already chosen, The bots will change your name.
> After choosing the username, press tab and, clear the server address
> that is set for default,   enter the info I give you below:
> irc.rizon.net
> After that, press tab untill you reach next, and hit it.
> third page. it asks for a password. skip this for now, so just press next.
> fourth page: advanced options. You are not going to work with this right
> now, so just press next.
> fifth page, finishing point. Just make sure that the checkbox for
> automatic connection is checked, and then press finish.
> When you press the finish button, you're back at account manager; This
> time, it is showing your newly created account. just press escape or
> close on this window to go back to instantbird's main client window.
> Note: When you're connected to Rizon network, some bots will message
> you, It's their default thing. You need to close the chat window by
> pressing the escape button or alt+f4. If you think you're confused,
> just  close down all the windows and go launch instantbird from desktop
> again, This will put you back in instantbird's main client with your
> account already connected.
> step 4. Join our channel.
> Bring the file menu by pressing the alt button. arrow down untill you
> hear something like, "join chat". when you press enter on that, it will
> ask you for our channel name. write this info there:
> #RWP
> After that, press tab untill you hear, "Automatically join this
> channel". check this checkbox.
> and finally, press ok or join (I forgot which one it was there) and it
> will open a chat window that is our channel! I will tell you how the
> chat window looks like.
>
> How is the chat window?
> It's made of 5 parts which you can move by pressing tab and shift tab.
> the parts are: the editbox which you can write in. just write your chat
> and press enter, and  it's sent for good.
>   the section which you can scroll and read the chat output. I think
> It's easy to work with this thing, just scroll and read!
>   the chat chooser button, this is like the tabbing feature of firefox.
> You can press left and right arrow keys to move between open channels,
> and private messages. If i send you a private message, you should tab
> till you get to here, and press right arrow, and the chat window will
> change to my name, and you can chat with me.
>   a small LCD that tells you how many participants are in this channel,
> and finally a list that shows you who else is also in our channel.
>
> note: When you press alt-f4 on the chat window, the chat window closes
> but you're still connected to our channel. If someone says your username
> in chat, It will automatically pop up.
> note2: If you press alt+f4 in instantbird's main client, It will go down
> to your system trey. This will stop bothering you in your regular alt
> tabbing procedures. Just go to your desktop and press enter on
> instantbird to bring it back up.
> note3. The instantbird's main client is a simple window which shows you
> your list of channels. The channel name will be read like this:
> #RWP Wellcome to RWP channel, this.... 5
> So what you hear is, Channel name, a part of the description of the
> channel, and unread messages that you haven't seen yet in the chat.
>
> Please give this a try and let me know if you need any assistance, I'll
> be here and there in our irc channel to help you out.
> Our chat room bot features:
> We have a bot in our room that can do some cool things, you can type
> these commands, and it will reply.
> .w city name, or zip address -- this will tell you the weather
> .forecast city name or zip -- shows you a forecast of your city.
> .dict word -- well.. a dictionary.
> .urban word -- pulls data from urban dictionary
> .g text --  searches google for your written text.
