.TH Command FLASH

.NA flash "Send a message directly to a friend's terminal"
|
|
.LV Expert
|
|
.SY "flash <CNUM/CNAME> [<MESSAGE>]"
|
|
.s1
|
|
The <CNUM/CNAME> argument is either the number or name of
|
|
the recipient nation.
|
|
.s1
|
|
flash allows instant communication between friendly nations.
|
|
flash has two different syntaxes. You can either send your friend a one
|
|
line message as in:
|
|
.EX flash Foobots Hi there, I'm back from lunch
|
|
.s1
|
|
Or you can send a multi-line message:
|
|
.EX flash Foobots
|
|
.NF
|
|
> Hi there.
|
|
> I ate Fodderland for lunch.
|
|
> .
|
|
.FI
|
|
You can end a multi-line flash with a '.' (period) on a line all by
|
|
itself.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If you do not wish to receive any flash messages from your friends,
|
|
then you can temporarily turn the feature off by typing "toggle flash".
|
|
.s1
|
|
Note that if the person you are flashing is allied to you, you will
|
|
be informed if they are not logged in or not accepting flashes when you attempt
|
|
to flash them. This only works when *they* are allied with you, since
|
|
you would normally see them logged in or not using "players"
|
|
.s1
|
|
.SA "toggle, wall, declare, players, telegram, Communication"
