+
+This command marks you as being "away". It is used to tell people that
+you currently aren't paying attention to your screen. You might use it
+if you are taking a nap, in the shower, getting some food, or otherwise
+just aren't there at the moment. When you're "away" you will see "(zZzZ)"
+in your statusbar.
+
+Anyone who does a WHOIS on your nickname will see that you are away,
+as well as your away message. Anyone doing a WHO that returns information
+about you will also see that you're gone.
+
+By default, if someone sends you a MSG while you are away, your client
+will beep. You can turn this off by setting BEEP_WHEN_AWAY to OFF.
+
+If you send a MSG to someone who is away, you will automatically be
+notified of this. By default, you will only receive this notification
+once. If you wish to see it every time (to tell when a person is no
+longer marked away, for instance), change SHOW_AWAY_ONCE to OFF.
+
+You can remove your away status by using AWAY with no arguments.
