BEWARE:
Since sendopr uses echo and xmessage, the same restrictions and bugs are
also found in sendop.
Messages can't contain "?" or "!" because of their shell interpretation.
The switches must always come before the message.
The operator's Xresources should be configured to allow messages to be
received, ie. "xhost +" should be set. In the operator's .xdefaults file,
there should be a line similar to:
Important.Geometry: 800x500+700+200
to indicate the size and the location of the message window
Sendopr assumes the operator's terminal is X-based. If the terminal
does not support X11, then an email message will be sent to the operator
and the sender will not get a confirmation of the message being received.
Sendopr does not wrap long lines around to the next line. If a sentence
is longer than the window size, the end of the line is cut off.
