  (CHAT) or (NODE) Node CHAT
  --------------------------

  Subcommands:  (#) (G) (A) (U)

               (#) is any other active Node Number
               (G) places you in Group CHAT with others
               (A) flags your Node as being available for CHAT (default)
               (U) flags your Node as being Unavailable for CHAT

 Description:  Allows interactive keyboard conversation with one or more
               other system nodes.  To CHAT with only one other node, enter
               that node's number.  To CHAbT with a group of nodes, enter
               (G).  If a Node is unavailable for CHAT, you will be
               advised of such.  If the Node requested is available, they
               will be informed of your request.  When entering (G)roup
               CHAT, only other Nodes which are already in Group CHAT  will
               be advised that you have joined them.

               When in Node CHAT, the following subcommands are available:

               (Q), (E), (U), (H)

                   (Q) quits Node CHAT
                   (E) also quits Node CHAT
                   (U) displays the status of the other Nodes
                   (H) gives a quick display of these subcommands

               When conversing in Node CHAT, there can be delays between when
               you enter your text to the other person, and the time it takes
               them to respond.  Since text is only sent to the other Node
               when an (Enter) key or word-wrap occurs, there can be time
               periods of several seconds between text coming back to your
               screen.  Please WAIT until it is your turn to type!  End your
               text with a "/ga" or "/o" to indicate it is the other person's
               turn to type - and then WAIT!
