Well as a (never have used IRC) newbie I looked for the HOWTO's
myself. /usr/doc/bitch had some but I found that /usr/lib/bitchx had
much more. ( you have learned how to use locate, right?). The files
in /usr/lib/bitchx/help (hamm), were enough to let me get on and use
the system. There is much more reading to do but the info does seem
to be there for those that look.
