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.
