Thanks.  Yes, there is indeed a helpful-looking STARTUP file in that 
directory.

However, when I try the following commands to connect to a server, I have no 
idea how to find out what went wrong:

/load xmpp
11:17:17 -!- Irssi: Loaded module xmpp/core
11:17:17 -!- Irssi: Loaded module xmpp/text
11:17:17 -!- Irssi: Loaded module xmpp/fe
/xmppconnect -host jabber.server.com astone password

('jabber.server.com' is replaced with the hostname of the server I need to 
connect to, and 'password' is repllced with my password on that server).

After the above commands, I get nothing - no new connection window, no error 
message, no success message, nothing in the irssi status window.

How can I find out what happened (did it try to connect? did it fail to 
authenticate?  is the service not listening?  etc) or otherwise work out what 
I need to do to connect?

Thanks,


Antony Stone.
