POSTING
In the syntax, [type] refers to NOTE, BUG, TYPO, FYI,
or BOARD.

Syntax:

       [type] subject <string>      [type] to <to-list>
       [type] clear                 [type] show
       [type] post                  [type] + <message>
       [type] post anonymous        [type] -
       [type] replace <message>     [type] repost <number>
       [type] get <number>          [type] text

In the explanations below, NOTE can be replaced with FYI, TYPO, BUG,
or BOARD.

NOTE TO sets the list of recipients. The recipient ALL means all players,
and the recipient IMMORTAL means all immortals. A message can be addressed to
'lesser', 'god', 'greatergod', and 'imp', as well. NOTE TO is not allowed
on the BOARD list - all posts to the BOARD list are posted to the following.
NOTE TO is also not used for the BUG or TYPO lists.

NOTE SUBJECT sets the subject line of a new message. Use NOTE + to write
message lines onto the note, one line at a time. NOTE SHOW shows your
note in progress. NOTE CLEAR starts over. NOTE POST posts your note for
reading. Posting is not automatic. BUG POST ANONYMOUS posts your
note anonymously. Its purpose is to report bugs which are being popularly
abused, and would have repercussions should your identity be known.
NOTE - clears the last text line. NOTE REPLACE replaces the last text line
with the specified text. NOTE REPOST <msg number> removes a note that
has already been posted and puts it into composition mode. NOTE GET <msg
number> removes a note that has already been posted, and puts the text
into the text buffer (HELP TEXT). NOTE TEXT appends the contents of the
text buffer into the note currently being composed.
