<p>The Send Message (SNDMSG) command is used by a display station user to send an immediate message from his display station to one or more message queues. (An immediate message is a message that is not predefined and is not stored in a message file.) The message can be sent to the system operator, to other display station users, to a user's message queue, all currently active users' message queues or to the system history log, QHST. The sender can require a reply from the message receiver. The primary users of this command are display station users and the system operator.

<p>This command sends an inquiry message to the system operator. The message requires a reply. The system operator displays the message by using the DSPMSG command and enters the reply on the display. The reply is then sent to the display station user's work station message queue. The display station user enters another DSPMSG command to display the reply.
