User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The /name command used to be able to change the username section of
"username@host" -- the information returned by a /whois command. Now when you
try this, the following errors are returned. . .
[error] Inknown pref name "name"
[error] Internal error dispatching command 'pref".
[error] TypeError: r has no properties @ <chrome://chatzilla/content/command.js>

You can still change the username through the preferences dialog box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Chatzilla without joining an IRC server.
2.Use "/name" command to change username.
3.Watch error messages appear on screen.
4.Join any IRC server and channel.

Actual Results:  
Username remains set to default "chatzilla" or to whatever was in the
preferences panel prior to attempting to change it using the "/name" command.

Expected Results:  
The username should have been set to whatever argument you tried to set it to
through "/name".

Easy fix for this: the name command's 'function' should be "pref username"
(possibly "network-pref username"?), not "pref name".
