This command allows you to consider accepting a loan or treaty offered by
another country.

The program will list the various terms of the loan or treaty under considera-
tion and ask for your decision as to whether to accept the terms, decline
them, or postpone making a decision.

If you accept a loan, the money is immediately credited to your account and
the time period of the loan starts. If at the time of your acceptance, the
lender does not have sufficient funds the size of the loan will be diminished
to fit the lender's cash on hand.

If you accept a treaty, it goes into effect immediately but the time period of
the treaty is calculated based on the offer date rather than the acceptance
date.

Loan offers are withdrawn if not accepted within a number of days equal to the
proposed loan's duration.

Treaty offers expire at the time the proposed treaty would expire.

Warning: When the terms of a loan are printed out, take note of the due date;
if you do not pay by the due date the interest will double and you will be
subject to "collection", (see "info collect").
