Summary: An alternate gaming aid for everyone to use during a game.

I and my gaming pals have often discussed a network of perhaps model 100's
to be used during the game.  The purpose would be to pass info back and forth
without the hassel of scribbled notes and/or others finding out what they 
shouldn't.  Consider:

	Player>  I search the body.
	    DM>  You find 30 gp and this <passing note>
        
The other players invariably inherit bad feelings toward the player if he/she
does not produce some amazing magic item for them, where in the "real-fantasy
world" they might not even know of that "something else" written on the note.
The interface would pass all info from player 1 to player 2 thru DM because
the DM must know everything said between characters.  Other than that, any 
message sent to a person is seen only by that person.

"How do you kill a dragon?"    		"I hire someone else to do it!"
