Example

Assume that the current application has a prompt at the bottom of the screen, as follows:

===>

To issue the /B command to send the message "lunch time" to user TPXUSR23, type the following command at the prompt (assuming the command character is a slash), and then press the command key (typically PF12 or PF24):

/B TPXUSR23 LUNCH TIME

Important! For a command issued with the command character to be processed correctly, you should not move the cursor after you type the command. At the time you press the command key, the cursor must be in the next logical position after the command. For example, you type /T8 and then press PF12. If you type /T8 and then hit the space bar before pressing PF12, the command will be sent to the application you are in session with rather than being processed as a command.
