Not all programs are as simple as ABC. Even more so for automated programs, which require some user-intervention to keep them going.
First you follow some form of
Setup guide or other setup documentation, to get it compiled and started.
Second, this is where things get harder, even more so when it comes to reading. Follow a
usage guide to give you idea, of the basic layout and workwing, and an insight to the more advanced managment systems (user, channel and ban managment).
Third, you can then look at
enhacing the bot wih scripts and/or connecting more than one together. This is more somthing for in a few weeks, but it's better to start reading early, and understand what will be happening, not just the commands in an order.
Forth, allways keep a good [urlhttp://
www.egghelp.org/commands/index.htm]command guide[/url] to hand. Eggdrop includes it's own comprehensive help system, which you should find very usful, simply type ".help" in the partyline (information about this should have been obtained in step 2). This will give eggdrops default commands referance. Typeing ".help all" will list every command within the bot's dcc interface. Using ".help <command>" replacing <command> with a real command, would normaly give more information on it, this is true, so long as it has the information and/or third party scripts have provided eggdrop with the needed information to reply.
This should get you started somwhat. The forums is allways here, should need more specific information
