Send command format: Sx tocall @bbs
where x is message type (P=private)
tocall is destination callsign (without - number)
@bbs is destination BBS (again without any - number) [OPTIONAL]
---> If @BBS part is omitted then if the station has entered a
Home BBS (NH command) that BBS will be used. Otherwise the
tostation callsign will also be used as the @BBS if it is
a known bbs. In general you should enter an @BBS!
If you know the state of the destination, you should add it to the
@BBS call you give, with a period between the @BBS and two letter
state abreviation.
NOTE: AT may be substituted for the @ sign
Examples: S W1XXX @W0YYY.CO
S NT8V AT NT8V.MI.USA
You will next be asked for a title for the message.
After this you type the message, keeping all lines less than 80
characters. When you are done with the message type ^Z or /EX on a
new line.
Use SB to send bulletins, ST to send traffic, etc. All messages
sent to a specific callsign will be treated as if you used SP (send
private). To make messages to a specific callsign readable by everyone
use SB instead of just S!
HINTS:
When sending any message to a distant destination, put the CITY, STATE
and Postal Code (if known) as the title of the message.
When sending NTS traffic use ST postalcode @NTSxx (xx is state or province).
Example: ST 44026@NTSOH
---> You may also send a message as a reply to a message on this system by
using the REPly command. You type REP ##### where ##### is the message
number you want to reply to. You do NOT specify an @BBS as it will be
determined from the message you are replying to. If you put a period
after the msg number, a title will automatically be generated for you of
the form RE: and the original msg title. You can se the REPly command to
reply to private messages or bulletins. Example: REP 12345.
