                             THE SEND COMMAND

 For those of you that are still having trouble with the commands that
 send those "annoying little messages" that ring the console bell (or
 buzzer) and look like: 


     ;;T01NYC: Meet Ron in CO 


 the following will give detailed step-by-step instructions. 


 First, to see which users are in the Forum, type UST [RETURN] at the
 Function: prompt.  The list of users that will appear after a brief
 delay will be formatted like: 


      25  71645,253          T01NYC   1-2-3 


 This tells you that the user with PPN 71645,253 is in this Forum, has
 JOB number 25, and is connected thru phone node link T01 from New York
 City.  If the PPN is unfamiliar, a quick look at the user log <U> will
 give you the users handle and entry time. 


 You may then send that "annoying little message" by typing, at the
 Function: level, and only at the Function prompt, either: 


        SEN JOB 25 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

                    or

        SEN T01NYC mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


 where mmmmmmmm is a message up to 79 characters in length.  There will
 be a delay as system searches for reciepient and SENds the message.  The
 system may also reply ? Busy or ?TTY not found if your "target" is using
 the sig access area or has logged off the network.  If you don't get an
 immediate reply, it may be the recipient is in the process of replying
 to a message, so be patient.
