   Subcommands

      @X0BA               Available for chat.  @X03By default, you are available for
                      chat when you log into the bulletin board system.  If
                      you have made yourself unavailable for chat, you may
                      make yourself available for chat again by using this
                      subcommand.  When you logoff, your chat status will be
                      used on your next call as well.

      @X0BG               Enter group chat.  @X03Use this subcommand to begin
                      chatting with other users on the system.

      @X0BU               Unavailable for chat.  @X03When you use this subcommand,
                      you make yourself unavailable for chat.  This means
                      that other callers will not be able to call you into
                      group chat.  When you logoff, your chat status will be
                      used on your next call as well.

      #               You may use the channel number of the channel that you
                      want to join as well, but only as a parameter. (i.e.
                      'CHAT;33' will join chat and take you directly to
                      channel 33.

   Description
@X03
      Node chat allows 2 or more people to communicate with each other across
      separate nodes of the BBS.  When you are in chat, you may select any of
      the available 255 channels to chat with other users.  If another user
      is available for chat you may request that they chat with you.
@X0F
   Entering Chat Mode
@X03
      When you execute the CHAT command and then select G for group chat you
      will be put into group chat mode.

      You will then be asked what channel you would like to chat on.  If you
      compare this to a CB, you can pick any of 255 channels to chat on.
      Each channel could be talking about different subjects.  To get a list
      of the currently active channels, you can press L at this prompt.  If
      you were called into chat, CHAT will automatically default to the
      correct chat channel.

      Now, you will be at in Chat.  Type /HELP or /? for help on Chat Commands.

      sending text to other nodes, start the line with a '.' or a '/'.

      Type /? or .? for a listing of available commands.  Type /? <command>
      for command specific information.
