CHAT

 Function
  Enter SysOp chat mode.

 Syntax
  CHAT   No arguments are required

 Remarks
  One of the features of PCBoard where change is often requested is the
  operator page facility.  Some people want to be able to configure
  multiple ranges of availability per day, some want a different sounding
  page bell, longer or shorter page attempts, etc, etc.  This statement,
  along with the PAGEON and PAGEOFF statements and the PAGESTAT()
  function, allow you to implement an operator page in any way desired.
  Of course, the SysOp may still start a chat with the F10 key or by
  responding to the default O (operator page) command, and the CHAT
  statement may be used at anytime (although you'll generally want to
  avoid starting it unless you've confirmed that the SysOp is available
  since the user has no way to exit it himself).

 Examples
  PAGEON
  FOR i = 1 TO 10
   PRINT "@BEEP@"
   DELAY 18
   IF (KINKEY() = " ") THEN
    CHAT
    GOTO exit
   ENDIF
  NEXT
  :exit
