Its simple, assuming you have a Unix system with the client installed.  Th
Things become more complicated on VAX-VMS systems. :)  Anyways, you should
be able to type 'irc' at your Unix (or Ultrix, or SunOS, or...) prompt and
this will get you IRC.  Once you are in you may choose a 'nickname' (the
default is your system user id) by typing /nick MyNameHere.  To join the
Apple IIgs discussion type /join #AppleIIgs.  Its easy.  We can help you 
from there 'live'. :-)
