These commands are used for the note system. Instead of just one board,

there are several, each with its special purpose.


Changing between the boards is accomplished using the board command. board

without any arguments gives you a list of all boards together with the number

of unread messages. To change, type board <number> or board <name of the board>.


To read the next unread note, type note. To read a note with a specified

number, type note read <number>. Typing note while in a board with no

unread notes shifts you to the next board. Note that unlike the standard note

system, a note has the same number in note list and note read.


Posting a message is as simple as writing note write. You will be moved

into interactive mode, where all you see are prompts for the fields like

To:, From: etc. You will be automatically put AFK while writing a note.


To see the list of the notes in the current board, type note list. Typing

note list <number> will list only that many of the last notes in the area.


note reply <number> quotes that note in full and lets you type your

response in after it. note forward <number> <recipient(s)> sends a copy of

a posted note straight to other people, without writing a fresh one.


You can remove your own note by using note remove <number>. Implementors

may remove other people's notes. Implementors can also select how many days

their note is kept before being purged. Purging happens automatically at

bootup. Purged notes are not deleted, but saved into a file.


You can go back and change the text of your own already-posted note with

note edit <number>. This puts you in the same interactive text editor as

writing a fresh note, starting from what you already wrote, so you can use

/s, /d, /rl and the rest of the editor commands to fix it up. Nothing

changes until you post the edit - choosing to forget it leaves the note as

it was. Implementors can edit other people's notes.


To let only immortals see your note, address it to "imm". To let players of

a specific level and above, address it to that level (no other recipients may

appear in that case).
