PLEASE - send message to the operator.

Syntax:

PLEASE <one line message>

Examples:

please kill and rsnumb k407t which is in exprs queue.

Description:

PLEASE sends a message to the console in the form

"<userid>" LINE# <> 0000
--> PLEASE <your message>

If you have CARDIN privileges and if the message ends with a question mark, PLEASE will ask the operator for a response. If the operator has not responded after two tries, PLEASE tells you "coffee-break time - try later" and terminates. If the operator's response begins with a "*", the user will be summarily disconnected, allowing the operator to get rid of annoying users.

Diagnostics:

LINE T-O-O-O LONG
The line contained more than 72 characters (including the please). The message could not be typed on the console, and thus was not sent.
