1+ #ascii.town +3 ~7 @
.Ed
.Pp
The number on the left
is the window number.
Following it may be one of
.Ql - ,
.Ql + ,

the number following
.Ql +
indicates the number of unread messages.
The number following
.Ql ~
indicates how many lines

and the unread count
for all other windows
in parentheses.
.
.Ss Chat Area

messages and events.
Regular messages are shown
with the nick between
.Ql <>
angle brackets.
