I have a friend with an account on a VMS machine who has been told
that they can send "arpanet mail" with a command called SEND.

I thought that VMS couldn't do this, at least by itself?  ALso, the
instructions she received were not clear. She was told to: 

type "SEND"
type "MAILER!<arpanet-address>" (without quotes, of course)

Unfortunately, the SEND program just replies "Can't". Yes, thats right,
a single word "error message", and not even one of those strange :-)
VMS error codes, either.

Can anyone shed any light on the subject?

Please reply direct, as I can't always read this group...
