13. Commit the server information by clicking Add in the Add Server dialog.
14. Click OK in the mIRC Options dialog.
15. The main mIRC window will appear.

17. Click Join to enter the channel.
18. You are in! Your nickname should appear in the pane at right. You can also see who else is in the channel.
19. A transcript of the chat scrolls up in the large pane at left.
