2 .NA telegram "Send \*Qdiplomatic\*U communique to another country"
4 .SY "telegram <CNUM/CNAME> [<CNUM/CNAME>] [[<CNUM/CNAME>]]"
5 The telegram command allows non-treaty communication
6 to take place between representatives. Currently you
7 are given only 1024 characters per telegram.
9 The <CNUM/CNAME> argument is either the number or name of
10 the recipient nation. You may specify as many recipients on the
11 command line as you wish.
12 Telegrams sent to country #0 appear as prayers,
13 (favors are best obtained in this manner.)
15 While entering your telegram the system tells you how many characters
16 you have left. You end the telegram by typing ^D on a line by itself,
17 or by entering a line with a '.' on a line by itself. A line containing
18 only a '~' will abort the telegram.
23 Enter telegram for multiple recipients; end with ^D
