There are several command-line options that users and moderators
can use for advanced functionality. These options do not exist in the FlashChat
interface, but they are available to you by typing them directly into the message
input box. These commands are "IRC-like" since they begin with the
backslash. The following table summaries these options:

Sets user as away. Typing this command again sets user as "here". |
