Usage: tell <person> <message to the person>
'tell' sends your message to another person, and is used for conversation.
One line messages are the limit.
1) 'tell' may be used to start a conversation. tweet would like to talk
to beam, so tweet uses the 'tell' command.
Example: #> tell beam Hi.
a) After starting a 'tell', you can continue talking to the same person
by using: tell . In other words, 'person' can be reduced to: .
Example: #> tell . Like to play a game?
b) _or_, this (tell .) can also be shortened to just: .
Example: #> . Like to play a game?
In case (a) and (b), beam (the recipient of the 'tell') will see:
*tweet*: Like to play a game?
2) beam can respond to tweet with: tell tweet hello
or beam can respond with a shortcut to tweet, by using: ^
Example: #> tell ^ hello
This will work only when responding for the first time.
3) To 'tell' to the last person entering IGS in the 'who' list, use: $
Example: #> tell $ hello
4) To 'tell' to both players in a game, use: tell #<and game number>
Example: #> tell #23 Hi tim and fmc. Interesting game. :-)
