look [user | socket#] (/<cmd>)
This command allows peeking into a user session on the BBS or
into any non-local socket. 'look [user | socket#]' brings up a window
which follows the specified user or socket. If looking in on a bbs
user, you can initiate a 'chat' session with that user.
There are a few commands available:
/? or /h - will show a short help line
/m <msg> - send a message to user. (only if 'looking' at user)
User sees: '<sysop>: message text'
/c - initiate a 'chat' with user. The bbs will suspend
while you talk with the user.
/q or /b - if in 'chat' mode, finishes it and returns the user
to the bbs.
if in 'look' mode, finishes looking at user/socket.
Note: if not in 'chat' mode, all non-command strings will be
ignored.
Looking at non-bbs sockets might be helpful debugging things or
seeing what an ftp user or a smtp user is doing.
Note that often you won't see what you expect: e.g., ftp user
sockets don't show the data transfered including directory
listings because data transfer occurs on a separate socket.
(Not seeing it is NOT a bug, for once...8) )
