- be a maximum of 8 characters!
- The following characters are ILLEGAL in an ID: " - \ / + | * ? . > < "
-
- You will be prompted for a subject, simply enter a short (1 line)
- couple of words to describe the contents of the message that you
- are going to enter. ie: Help needed on 'C' programming.

- Then you will be prompted for the message. Enter the message a line
- at a time (ending each line with your RETURN or ENTER key). When
- you are ready to end your message, enter CONTROL-Z (press and hold
- down your CONTROL key, then press the letter 'Z') to end the message.
