Command : FLASH

NAME
flash - Send a message directly to a friend's terminal

Level: Expert

SYNTAX
[##:##] Command : flash []

The argument is either the number or name of the recipient
nation.

flash allows instant communication between friendly nations. flash has two
different syntaxes. You can either send your friend a one line message as in:
[##:##] Command : flash Foobots Hi there, I'm back from lunch

Or you can send a multi-line message:
[##:##] Command : flash Foobots

> Hi there.
> I ate Fodderland for lunch.
> .

Note that you can end a multi-line flash with either a '.' (period) on a line
all by itself, or by hitting ^D on a line by itself.

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".

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"
