+The following commands allows users to interact with your bot via *inline queries*.
+In order to enable **inline mode**, send `/setinline` command to [@BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather) and provide the placeholder text that the user will see in the input field after typing your bot’s name.
+Also, edit line 21 from `bashbot.sh` putting a "1".         
+Note that you can't modify the first two parameters of the function `answer_inline_query`, only the ones after them.

+To send messsages or links through an *inline query*:
+```
+answer_inline_query "$iQUERY_ID" "article" "Title of the result" "Content of the message to be sent"
+```
+To send photos in jpeg format and less than 5MB, from a website through an *inline query*:
+```
+answer_inline_query "$iQUERY_ID" "photo" "A valid URL of the photo" "URL of the thumbnail"

 To modify the responses to commands edit the commands.sh file (this should ease upgrades of the bot core).  
 
 Once you're done editing start the bot with ```./bashbot.sh start```. If you want to do some more changes make them and then rerun the same command.
