Now the main HexChat window opens, and HexChat connects to the Rizon Network securely using SSL. If you get an error message at this point you've screwed something up. After you've received the Global Message, you've successfully connected. Now we need to do a few steps to REGISTER your nickname with Rizon. Enter this command:

/msg NickServ REGISTER your_chosen_password valid@email.address

Make sure there are no spaces before the slash. This will send an email with a confirmation code to the email you specified.
