to need to have the owner capability. If you ran the wizard, then
chances are you already added an owner user for yourself. If not,
however, you can add one via the handy-dandy supybot-adduser script.
You'll want to run it while the bot it's running (otherwise it could
overwrite supybot-adduser's changes to your user database before you
get a chance to reload them). Just follow the prompts, and when it
asks if you want to give the user any capabilities, say yes and then
give yourself the "owner" capability (without the quotes), restart the
bot and you'll be ready to load some plugins!
Now, in order for the bot to recognize you as your owner user, you'll
have to identify with the bot. Open up a query window in your irc

Another command you might find yourself needing somewhat often is the
"more" command. The IRC protocol limits messages to 512 bytes, 60 or
so of which must be devoted to some bookkeeping. Sometimes, however,
Supybot wants to send a message that's longer than that. What it
does, then, is break it into "chunks" and send the first one,
following it with "(X more messages)" where X is how many more chunks
there are. To get to these chunks, use the more command. One way to
try is to look at the help for the configuration variable
"supybot.defaultCapabilities". Last I checked, it'll overflow into a
second chunk. The command you'll need to do this is "config help
supybot.defaultCapabilities".
Enjoy using Supybot!
