rcirc set user name, ident

rcirc set user name, ident

[tipmaster]

I want to replace username and ident that rcirc uses by default.
rcirc by default uses my linux login name.  Is there a way to change
this.  I am not an expert in lisp/elisp.

thanks.

You have switched from Erc to rcirc?

FWIW, in Erc this is with:

(setq erc-email-userid "another-user")

Out of curiosity, is there a special function to create these boxes or 
you do them by hand?

Look for boxquote.el, e.g. here: http://www.davep.org/emacs/boxquote.el

You can also use the C-c C-r to change the nick that you are using at
the time, also you might want to have it load your favorite channels
