- 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.
