that's almost like saying "what's email - and how do i use it?" ;-)
my point is that IRC is an internet service like email
(usenet, ftp, ssh...), ie a very basic one which has
been around for quite a while.  it pays to know it.

okok.. summary: IRC stands for International Relay Chat and
it is a chat system for 1:N, ie one talks - N people listen.

you'd have to install an IRC client to be able to connect to
one of the many IRC servers out there.  one of them is ours
at irc.kunstlabor.at.  commands start with a slash character, eg
"/server", "/list #puredata", "/join puredata" or "/whois sveng".

graphical irc clients make it easier for users to
use the mouse and click onto buttons, but... ymmv.

for more info see the site http://www.irchelp.org/
