ECURITY
In nonsecure mode, you may scan your channels either alphanumerically
according to your channel list or sequentially through all attached servers. Note
that with sequential scanning, you will pause at every active channel, regardless of
whether that channel has been added to the channel list or not.
In secure mode, you will only scan through channels that appear on the channel
list, regardless of the scanning method chosen.
