+
+<P>You can send a single comment or start a dedicated talk session to
+another user by using the <B>TALK</B> command.
+<P>
+<P>Talk mode is used to send a one line comment or greeting to a
+specific user connected either at your node or another in the
+network. You can also enter into a dedicated talk session with
+another user. Talks will be automatically forwarded to other nodes
+if the station you are talking to is not connected locally.
+You can find out who is connected by using the
+<B>SHOW/CONFIGURATION</B> command, (described earlier).
+<P><B>Examples:</B>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+
+talk g0rdi Having a good day Iain?
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+<P>This example would send the line "Having a good day Iain?" to the
+user g0rdi but would leave you in normal mode.
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+talk g0rdi
+Entering Talkmode, /EX to end, /<cmd> to run a command
+Talk (G0RDI)>
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+<P>As you can see, you can still run commands whilst in talk mode.
+Simply prefix the command with a / like /sh/dx and you will get
+the expected output.
+If the user is connected to another node, you may have to use a
+slightly extended version of the <B>TALK</B> command.
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+talk g0rdi > gb7djk
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+<P>To exit talk mode, you issue the command <B>/ex</B>.
+<P>Whilst in talk mode you will still receive DX spots. This means that
+you can chat to a friend whilst working DX.
