(CHAT) or (NODE) Node CHAT - Function Help
------------------------------------------
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 CHAT 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!
