25 \fIWrite\fR lets a user send messages to another logged-in user.
26 Lines typed by the user appear on the other user's screen a line at a time
27 (a character at a time in the case of cbreak mode).
28 The file \fI/usr/adm/wtmp\fR is searched to determine which tty to send to.
29 If the user is logged onto more than one terminal, the \fItty\fR argument
30 selects the terminal. Type CTRL- D to terminate the command.
31 Use ! as a shell escape.
