AFK AFKTELL Usage: AFK + reason
If you need to leave the computer, for instance to go to the toilet or get a
glass of beer, it is a good idea to inform the world that you are Away From
the Keyboard or AFK. You do this by typing AFK (followed by the reason if you
want to), which sends a message to the room you are in, and also sets the flag
AFK at your name in the WHO-list. With the toggle AFKTELL you can set if you
want to receive tells while AFK or not. Default is off. You can still see the
other channels, so you can scroll back and see what you missed. Setting the
flag is mainly an act of courtesy to other players, to explain why you don't
respond. To remove the AFK flag, just type AFK again.
