+Usage: messages [user [text]]
+LIMITED TO REGISTERED USERS
+
+ This command can do one of four things:
+
+ 1) "Messages" used alone will display all of the stored messages that have
+ been sent to you.
+
+ 2) "Messages user" will display all stored messages from you to that user
+ and from that user to you.
+
+ 3) "Messages #" will display the message numbered # in your list.
+
+ 4) "Messages user text" will send "text" to the user. When you "message"
+ another user, the text of your "message" will be displayed to you for
+ confirmation. If that user is on, he/she will see the message
+ displayed. If the user is not on, he/she will need to use "message" in
+ order to read it.
+
+ Messages will be stored until they are cleared by the recipient. In
+contrast, "tell"s are not stored. When users log on, they are notified if
+they have any stored messages and (if so) how many they have.
