A question about Fenrir on Arch linux

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I like pidgin messenger for irc.  Once pidgin is  installed, open it and 
add an account.  When asked for account type, select 'irc'.  You'll be 
asked for the address of a server, depending on how pidgin is 
configured, you'll have 'irc.freenode.net' pre-filled.  If that's what 
you want, go ahead and accept it. You'll have a message about connected 
to the server.  In your buddy list, do 'ctrl+c', you'll be asked to join 
a chat. type the name of the channel.  The chat messages with start 
coming in and being read by orca.  You can use 'orca+f1 through orca+f9 
to read previous, next-to previous, etc...



HTH,



Dave  H.
