+======Synopsis:======
+__describe__ <nickname|channel> <action description>
+======Description:======
+__DESCRIBE__ lets you perform an action.  It lets you describe what you're
+doing as though someone is watching you, rather than you telling them.
+You may send an action to either an individual or to an entire channel.
+__DESCRIBE__ is identical to [[CTCP]] [[ctcp ACTION|ACTION]].  When sending an
+action to a channel, it functions identically to the [[ME]] command.
+Because this makes use of [[CTCP]] (Client To Client Protocol), it is
+not guaranteed that the person to whom you send the description will
+see it properly.  If the person's client does not properly handle it,
+you may receive an error message back.  This is normal and may be safely
+ignored.
+======Examples:======
+If your nickname is foobar, and you want to send an action to your
+friend whose nickname is booya:
+      /describe booya is eating pizza
+To send an action to channel #blah:
+      /describe #blah is eating pizza
+Anyone receiving an action from you will see something like this:
+      * foobar is eating pizza
