The server gives you +some feedback that the message has been sent. You will also be told whether +the user is playing a game currently, or is not even logged on at the moment. +"t" is an alias for "tell". + + As a shortcut, you can use "." as an alias for "tell user" when you want to +send another message to the last person you told.

For this reason, "." and "," are separate +aliases and do not interfere with each other. + + (b) A special command, "say", can be used for communicating with an opponent +during or directly following a chess game. + + (c) Another special command, "message", sends a message to a user so that it +can be stored for future use. + + (d) You can decide whether or not to hear a "tell" from unregistered users; +setting the "tell" variable to 0 (zero) filters these from being sent to you. + + +See Also: alias channel intro_talking message say variables xtell + +[Last modified: October 8, 1995 -- Friar] + -- cgit v1.2.3
