+busy
+
+Usage: set busy string
+
+ Sets your "busy" string. When your busy string is set and people "tell"
+something to you, they will get your busy string as a response. Your busy
+string (if on) will also be displayed right below your name when someone
+"fingers" you. NOTE: Your busy string can be no longer that 45 characters.
+
+Examples of busy strings you might use are:
+ set busy is really busy right now.
+ set busy will be back in 5 minutes.
+ set busy will be idle for a while...
+
+ Typing any command cancels your "busy" status; you don't have to clear it
+yourself.
+
+ It is useful to use an alias for your busy string, if you intend to use it
+frequently. For example:
+ alias idle set busy is away from the keyboard right now
+would set your busy string to "is away from the keyboard right now".
