say
Synopsis:
say <text>
Description:
This command sends the specified text to the current channel. It has numerous
practical uses. Among others, it allows the user to send a message to a channel
even if cmdchars is for some reason not set, or is command_mode is
on. It it also useful for allowing aliases, binds, scripts, and
the like, to explicitly send a message to the current channel. Using the SAY
command is functionally equivalent to using the command character with no command.
Of course, the default is to send text to the current channel if no command
character is specified at all.
Examples:
To send a message to the current channel:
/say hello all!
An alternate way to send
a message:
/ hello all!
To someone else on napster,
your message will appear like this:
hello all!
To you, your message will appear like this:
> hello all!

Restrictions:

send a message to any channel other than the current one. You must switch channels
with join (or channel), or with whatever key is bound to switch_channels.
Otherwise, use msg to send the message to a specific destination.
