IRC channels

Does any one know what the command send to the server to retrieve the channel list is ?
thanks.

you would first have to be connected, and loged onto an IRC server, so it's not just a matter of "What command do I throw at this server" you are going to have to find a list or learn how IRC server+Client works.

I downloaded a few simple chat programs writtin in VB along with the source for each to get an idea of how it works, but none of them retieved a channel list, you actually have to know what channels are on that specific server and type
"/join #channel".

here is what you do
go to irc.dal.net

and go into channel #scripting

ask what the irc command is
and they will tell ya

Cool, thanks!
