<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<EM>Write</EM> lets a user send messages to another logged-in user. Lines typed by
the user appear on the other user's screen a line at a time (a character
at a time in the case of cbreak mode). The file /<EM>usr</EM>/<EM>adm</EM>/<EM>wtmp</EM> is searched
to determine which tty to send to. If the user is logged onto more than
one terminal, the <EM>tty</EM> argument selects the terminal. Type CTRL- D to
terminate the command. Use ! as a shell escape.
