Attempts to measure the time it takes to send a message to the user nickname, and receive a response. Specifiying a channel instead is the same a pinging every person on the channel. Their IRC client may or may not show them that you've asked for this information. ChatZilla currently does not.

pref [<pref-name> [<pref-value> [<delete-pref>]]]

Sets the value of the preference named <pref-name> to the value of <pref-value>. If <pref-value> is not provided, the current value of <pref-name> will be displayed. If both <pref-name> and <pref-value> are omitted, all preferences will be displayed. If <delete-pref> is provided and is |true|, |on|, |yes|, or |1|, or if <pref-value> is a minus ('-') character, then the preference will revert back to its default value.
