NAME
     channels - list the channels you can access, earmuff and subscribe to
                a channel

USAGE
     channels [ all | <channel> ]

DESCRIPTION
     This command allows you to list all the channels that you can listen
     to, all the channels that there are, or to toggle whether you are
     listening to a channel.

     In order to list the channels you are currently listening to, type
     "channels" by itself. To list all the channels that you are able to
     subscribe to if you choose, type "channels all".

     To toggle an individual channel enter "channels" followed by the name
     of the channel.

     Once you have subscribed to a channel you can talk on it by entering
     the name of the channel followed by some text.

     Each channel has a purpose. You have standard channels:
