Summary: SEND is very nice...

It allows any user to send a one-line message to another user, or multiple lines at once, much like Unix's write command when both use it. The thing I like about it is that if a user doesn't want messages, as I don't when editing at 1200 baud from home, they can just SET BROADCAST=NOUSER1, and send will tell everyone that the given person isn't receiving messages. ============================================================================== "My kingdom for a real username!"
