Usage: QUERY [<nicknames>|%n|/<command>]
Starts a private conversation with <nicknames>. All text you
type that would normally be sent to your channel now goes to
<nicknames> in the form of MSGs. To cancel a private
conversation, use QUERY with no arguments. The %n arguments
allows you to send the query text to a process number n. The
process must have already been started using a previous call
to EXEC. It's also possible to query someone on a
DCC connection with QUERY =nickname.
Another form has been added which allows you to send messages to
the specified command with the format QUERY /COMMAND
and everything you type will be parsed by that /command. Can be
an alias or anything you like. Note that when querying a command,
you may need to use XECHO -WINDOW to ensure output goes to the
right place.
If "*" is given as a nickname the output is sent to the current
channel.
