RFC 2813 applies to IRC servers talking to each other. It has nothing to do
with IRC clients talking to IRC servers. That is covered by RFC 1459
instead.

That is your own server. It is the name of your server that other servers
can use to forward data packets to your server's clients from other networks
when needed.

The client sends its name to your server after it connects to your server.

That is part of it. Did you assign your class to the server's ContextClass
property before activating the server? If not, then you need to.

You already know the Host information. It is your own server. All you need
is the OnCommandNick and OnCommandUser events to get the client's
information.

The OnCommandUser event has individual parameters for all of those values:
procedure TForm1.IdIRCServerCommandUser(AContext: TIdCommand; UserName,
HostName, ServerName, RealName: string);
> Also, what is the CommandUser event meant to do, exactly?
It is triggered in response to the USER command that a client sends to the
server.

Please read RFC 1459.

Just saying that it does not work says nothing at all about the actual
problem you are having. Please be more specific.
