+<para>
+The most important setting for a control channel is <emphasis>fill_by</emphasis>. It
+tells BitlBee what information should be used to decide if someone should be shown
+in the channel or not. After setting this setting to, for example, <emphasis>account</emphasis>, you
+also have to set the <emphasis>account</emphasis> setting. Example:
+</para>
+
+<ircexample>
+        <ircline nick="wilmer">chan set &amp;wlm fill_by account</ircline>
+        <ircline nick="root">fill_by = `account'</ircline>
+        <ircline nick="wilmer">chan set &amp;wlm account msn</ircline>
+        <ircline nick="root">account = `msn'</ircline>
+</ircexample>
+
+<para>
+Also, each channel has a <emphasis>show_users</emphasis> setting which lets you
+choose, for example, if you want to see only online contacts in a channel, or
+also/just offline contacts. Example:
+</para>
+
+<ircexample>
+        <ircline nick="wilmer">chan set &amp;offline show_users offline</ircline>
+        <ircline nick="root">show_users = `offline'</ircline>
+</ircexample>

+<para>
+See the help information for all these settings for more information.
