======Synopsis:======
__whowas__ <nickname> [<count>] [<server>]

======Description:======
This command is similar to [[WHOIS]] except it asks the server for 
information about a user who has left irc recently.  It shows most of
the same information as [[WHOIS]].

The number of entries returned by the server is controlled by the value of
[[SET NUM_OF_WHOWAS]].  You can override this value by providing a second
argument which shall be the number of entries you want returned.

You can query a remote server for a WHOWAS reply with /[[quote]] whowas <nick>
<count> <server>

The exact determination of what is "recently" enough to be returned by
WHOWAS is a server option and may be anywhere from several seconds to
several weeks.

======Examples:======
To show the last 5 users of the nickname JoeBob:
      /whowas joebob 5
