For people who are so used to using irc that they just can't stop trying to
use /me, I've made the following plugin.  It does nothing but turn your
"/me blah blah" into standard "yournick blah blah" in chat.

If you want it to do something else, change the SendToServer line.  For
example, if you wanted it to show up as an idea, change it to "SCHAT IDEA
$MV(nick) $rest".  If you don't want it to shove your nick in, delete the
$MV(nick) part.

Create the directory ~/.OpenVerse/plugins/SlashMe (or whatever it's called
under other operating systems) and dump the following text, between but not
including the "---cut here---" lines, into a file called PlugInit.tcl.  Or
download it from
http://justice.loyola.edu/~elange/openverse/SlashMe-PlugInit.tcl, and
rename it to PlugInit.tcl.
