yeah, as you can see it is beta. on the todo list: a gui configuration
would be nice at least for some basic things (e.g. what you would
normally pass on the command line assuming it has a bitchx/ircii style
invocation), nicklist window, a configurable dock badge showing if
you;ve been /msg'd perhaps.

and i guess i'll add in a default fg/bg colors for the windows. :)

as for the character set issues, i haven't played with non-us
characters.  i'll try to play with them soon.  being
internationally-friendly pretty important to me.

i'll keep you informed,
