Synopsis:
   query [=]<nickname>
   query %<process id|process name>

Description:
   Using the first form, QUERY starts a private conversation with the
   nicknames specified (more than one allowed, see MSG for syntax).  All
   it really does is make the client send normal typed messages to the
   people specified instead of your current channel.  QUERY will work
   over a DCC CHAT connection.

   The second form is similar to the first, but it lets you continuously
   communicate with a running EXECed process without the need for MSG
   (just like querying a person).  Either the process id number, or the
   name assigned to the process (if any) may be used.

   Using QUERY with no arguments terminates the current QUERY, if any.

Examples:
   To start a private conversation with your significant other:
      /query sweetypie

   To cancel a running query:
      /query
