+
+Usage: xtell user message
+
+ The "xtell" command sends a message to a user, just like "tell" does.
+However, "xtell" will not alter the setting for who-you-told-last. A "tell"
+sends a message *and* resets the who-you-told-last variable to a new user.
+The "xtell" command will leave this setting intact, meaning that you can still
+use the "." alias to "tell" to a person you are having a conversation with.
+The "xtell" command allows for a brief comment to someone while you are having
+a longer chat with someone else.
+
+SPECIAL NOTES:
+
+(a) Xtell works only with tells to players, not to channels.
+
+See Also: alias tell
