+======Synopsis:======
+AWAY has three flags, and an optional "away message".
+If you specify the "away message", you become "away".
+If you do not specify the "away message", you become "not away".
+If you do not specify a flag, -one is the default.
+^ Usage ^ Explanation ^
+| [[away]] -one I'm Not Here | Become "away" on the current server |
+| [[away]] -one | Become "not away" on the current server |
+| [[away]] -all Eating Dinner | Become "away" on every server you're connected to, with "Eating Dinner" as your away message |
+| [[away]] -all | Become "not away" on every server you're connected to |
+| [[away]] -- -This message has dashes- | Become "away" on the current server (when your message begins with a dash) |
+======Description:======
+When you are away from irc, you might want other people to know about it.
+You can tell the server you are away from irc, and it will send a message to anyone who tries to contact you.
+While you are away:
+  * The [[set STATUS_AWAY]] expando (%A) will display in your status bar using the value of [[set STATUS_AWAY]] (which is "(away)" by default).
+  * If someone sends you a message, the server will send them your away message.
+  * If someone [[WHOIS]]es you, the server will include your away message in the reply.
+  * If someone [[WHO]]s you or a channel you are on, your "away" status will be "G" (for "G"one), instead of "H" (for "H"ere).
+  * If [[set BEEP_WHEN_AWAY]] is ON, your display will be beeped each time someone sends you a message.
+  * If [[set AUTO_UNMARK_AWAY]] is ON, and you send a message or notice to someone else, the [[AWAY]] command will be run automatically to let the server know that you have returned.
+Of note:
+  * You will be AWAY until you run [[away]] without an away message.
+  * The client will resend your AWAY message if you are disconnected and reconnect to a server.
+  * You can have different AWAY messages for each server.
+  * Being away on one server does not automatically make you AWAY on any new servers you connect to.
+  * Some networks don't send your AWAY message after a netsplit, so this is not a reliable feature.
+  * The traditional (server-side) limit for AWAY messages is 80 characters.
+If you don't want to see other people's away messages each time you send them a message,
+you can load the newaway script (/LOAD newaway) and you will see each person's away message only once.
+======Examples:======
+To mark yourself away:
+      /away I'm not here right now, I'll be back soon
+To mark yourself away on all servers:
+      /away -all I'm in the shower, back in 10 minutes
+To remove your away status on one server:
+      /away
+To remove your away status on all servers:
+      /away -all
+======History:======
+The [[away]] command first appeared in ircII.
