(CHAT) or (NODE) Node CHAT - Function Help
------------------------------------------
Subcommands: (#) (G) (A) (U)
(#) is any other active Node Number
(G) places you in Group CHAT with others
(A) flags your Node as being available for CHAT (default)
(U) flags your Node as being Unavailable for CHAT
Description: Allows interactive keyboard conversation with one or more other
system nodes. To CHAT with only one other node, enter that
node's number. To CHAT with a group of nodes, enter (G). If a
Node is unavailable for CHAT, you will be advised of such. If
the Node requested is available, they will be informed of your
request. When entering (G)roup CHAT, only other Nodes which are
already in Group CHAT will be advised that you have joined them.
When in Node CHAT, the following subcommands are available:
(Q), (E), (U), (H)
(Q) quits Node CHAT
(E) also quits Node CHAT
(U) displays the status of the other Nodes
(H) gives a quick display of these subcommands
When conversing in Node CHAT, there can be delays between when
you enter your text to the other person, and the time it takes
them to respond. Since text is only sent to the other Node when
an (Enter) key or word-wrap occurs, there can be time periods of
several seconds between text coming back to your screen. Please
WAIT until it is your turn to type! End your text with a "/ga"
or "/o" to indicate it is the other person's turn to type - and
then WAIT!
