IRC and BitchX newbie -- where do I read about how to get started?

[Mark Phillips <mark@ist.flinders.edu.au>]

I've just installed BitchX because I want to join in on the Slink
release IRC party thingy.  Unfortunately I have never used IRC, let
alone BitchX before, and I'm really not sure how to get started.  I
tried man bitchx, and also looked in /usr/doc/bitchx, but it seems
this documentation is for people who already have a basic idea about
what's going on.

Can anyone point me to an introductory HOWTO or some similar such
thing.

Thanks,

Mark.
