However if the parameter contains spaces you must enclose it in quotes, such as:
/command "parameter 1" 'parameter2' param3.
You may edit messages by double clicking on them (If you have permission to do so), delete messages by clicking on the '#' in front of your messages, send a user a private message by single clicking their name, or speed up/slow down the speed messages are typed at by pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrow keys on your keyboard.
