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.
