−	When you set your windsock ~~type~~ to <tt>chat</tt> in the configuration notecard, you can use chat commands to control the sock.	+	When you set your windsock <tt>TYPE</tt> to <tt>chat</tt> in the configuration notecard, you can use chat commands to control the sock. The sock will listen on the channel specified by <tt>CHAN</tt> option, and look for chat messages beginning (after stripping whitespace) with the prefix specified by the <tt>PREFIX</tt> option. If the <tt>PREFIX</tt> option is omitted, then every line will be interpreted as a wind command.
		+
		+	A wind command consists of a compass direction, an at sign (@), and a windspeed in knots. For example, if chat is configured on channel 9 with a prefix of "wind" then the command:
		+
		+	/9 wind 270@12
		+
		+	would set the wind to be from 270 degrees at 12 knots. Note that these are compass directions, and not the SL z-rotation.
		+
		+	Chat messages controlling the sock can come from either yourself directly, or from another device driving the windsock.

	The medium and large versions of the windsock come with a flashing beacon and flood lights. The lights can be controlled through a menu by clicking the base. The menu includes buttons for MASTER, beacon, and flood with an indicator to show which switches are on or off. The MASTER switch can be used to turn off the entire system and is normally kept in the ON position. The flood and beacon are then controlled by the other two buttons.

 Each line of <tt>*config</tt> consists of a key/value pair separated by a colon (:).  Comments are any text from a # to the end of the line. The configuration consists of two sections, a basic configuration section which sets up the functioning of your windsock, and a Nexus section which enables you to connect the lighting on your windsock to the Nexus lighting system.
