Help page 3 - Further communications.
Introduction.
From the last help page you could see that there are two main methods of telling people
something. These were namely the say and tell commands. This page details some other
methods which can be used to brighten up your chat by displaying your message in different
ways. They can often be used, quite successfully, to reflect your mood.
Examples.
If someone wants to make sure everyone on the talker takes notice of them, they can emphasize
a say using a shout. So if Sabrina types shout
Look at this!
then everyone on the talker will see Sabrina shouts: Look at this!
If Sabrina was pondering something to herself and she wanted to share this with the room then
typing think Humm, why? would
send the text Sabrina thinks: . o 0 ( Humm, why? ) to the room.
When Sabrina is listening to some music then she might like to let everyone know what song is
playing. Typing sing It's like ra-in,
on your wedding day... would give Sabrina sings: o/~ It's like ra-in,
on your wedding day... o/~ Of course there is no accounting for taste.
NOTE 1: You can use rthink, rsing
and recho to chat to just one person.
NOTE 2: Please make sure you don't abuse these commands as they can become annoying when
they are overused.
