 Remarks
  This statement will allow you to leave a message from any user (or any
  'name' you wish to use) to any user on your system.  This can be useful if
  you want to notify a user of information that they should download in
  a QWK packet or that they might miss too easily as a quick one liner on
  screen from the PPL.

 Examples
  IF (CURSEC() < 20) THEN
   MESSAGE 0,U_NAME(),"SYSOP","REGISTER","R",DATE(),TRUE,FALSE,"REG.TXT"
  ENDIF
