telegram <country> {<country> ... <country>}
* | & | ! | @
Sends a telegram to another country. A telegram is ended by an end-of-file
marker (control-backslash) or by a period (.) on a line by itself.
Private telegrams are sent by giving a single country name or number (a
number MUST be used is the country name has spaces in it). A public message
can be sent by entering '*' for the country name. This will send a copy of
the message to every ACTIVE player that has LESS THAN 6k in their mailbox
(they can still receive private mail). Remember, this sends a COPY of the
file, not just a pointer as on a BBS, so if you send a 1k message, the
system will need to make up to 45 copies (45k), and this could take up time.
You may also send telegrams to countries based on your diplomatic relations
to them. Using & will send a copy of the telegram to all countries that
you are ALLIED with, using ! will send a copy of the telegram to
all countries you are at WAR with, and using @ will send a copy of the
telegram to all countries you are neutral towards.
If more than one country is specified, then a copy will be sent to each
of those countries.
