Chat room commands

liveHarmony's chat software, in addition to a graphical interface, also offers command-based options.

Commands are entered like normal text but with one exception: all commands start with the forward-slash character, /

Be sure to use the / key, not \ or |. The / character tells the system to process your text as a command, not as a message.
