This command lets you direct a message to a certain user. This works just
like a WHISPER, except that the text will be sent to everybody in the same chat
channel as you, and will not be private. The user you are directing a message
to must also be in the same chat channel as you.
There are two forms of this command: short and long. Both function the
same way. An example usage of each is as follows:
DIRECT TO <username> <text>
><username> <text>
The first line is the long form, and the second is the short. In both
forms, <username> is the name of any user in your chat channel. You need only
type the first n characters, where n is the number of characters that will
distinguish the user's name from all of the other users in the same chat
channel as you. <text> is the message you want to direct to the user. If
<username> is valid and the user has not forgotten you with the FORGET command,
the <text> will appear to everybody as if you were talking to that user
directly.
To see how this command works, try directing a message to yourself. This
command can come in really handy in crowded chat channels with several
different conversations going on at once.
