Write
Loads your configured text editor and lets you enter a new message. When loaded the text editor will display a skeleton message consisting of the write-header and signature strings you have defined for the current area. Cyclone is frozen while you enter the message.
Before the text editor loads you will be presented with a message header window. Here you can enter the name and network address of the intended recipient, as well as the message subject line.
When you have finished editing the mssage, save and quit the text editor. Your message will be saved to the current are with an E or Export flag.
