Order is not important.
+=== 0^CHAT <group> <text>^Chat or Conference to a group
+It is now possible to JOIN a group and have network wide conferencing to that
+group. DXSpider does not (and probably will not) implement the AK1A
+conference mode as this seems very limiting, is hardly used and doesn't seem
+to work too well anyway.
+
+This system uses the existing ANN system and is compatible with both other
+DXSpider nodes and AK1A clusters (they use ANN/<group>).
+
+You can be a member of as many "groups" as you want. To join a group type:-
+
+ JOIN FOC (where FOC is the group name)
+
+To leave a group type:-
+
+ LEAVE FOC
+
+You can see which groups you are in by typing:-
+
+ STAT/USER
+
+and you can see whether your mate is in the group, if he connects to the
+same node as you, by typing:-
+
+ STAT/USER g1tlh
+
+To send a message to a group type:-
+
+ CHAT FOC hello everyone
+
+or
+
+ CH #9000 hello I am back

Remember that some countries have more than one "DXCC country" in them
(eg G :-), to show them (assuming you are not in G already which is
Note that the prefixes are converted into country codes so you don't have
to list all possible prefixes for each country.
+If you want more or less days than the default simply include the
+number you require:-

+This command allows you to interrogate that database and if the callsign
+is found will display the manager(s) that people have spotted. This
+information is NOT reliable, but it is normally reasonably accurate if
+it is spotted enough times.
+
+For example:-
