- (CHAT) or (NODE) Node CHAT - Function Help
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Subcommands: (#) (G) (A) (U)
-
- (#) is any other active Node Number
- (G) places you in Group CHAT with others
- (A) flags your Node as being available for CHAT (default)
- (U) flags your Node as being Unavailable for CHAT
-
- Description: Allows interactive keyboard conversation with one or more other
- system nodes. To CHAT with only one other node, enter that
- node's number. To CHAT with a group of nodes, enter (G). If a
- Node is unavailable for CHAT, you will be advised of such. If
- the Node requested is available, they will be informed of your
- request. When entering (G)roup CHAT, only other Nodes which are
- already in Group CHAT will be advised that you have joined them.
-
- When in Node CHAT, the following subcommands are available:
-
- (Q), (E), (U), (H)
-
- (Q) quits Node CHAT
- (E) also quits Node CHAT
- (U) displays the status of the other Nodes
- (H) gives a quick display of these subcommands
-
- When conversing in Node CHAT, there can be delays between when
- you enter your text to the other person, and the time it takes
- them to respond. Since text is only sent to the other Node when
- an (Enter) key or word-wrap occurs, there can be time periods of
- several seconds between text coming back to your screen. Please
- WAIT until it is your turn to type! End your text with a "/ga"
- or "/o" to indicate it is the other person's turn to type - and
- then WAIT!
