Introduction: About Zephyr

Zephyr is a sytem that allows you to send and receive real-time messages over Athena. Zephyr messages, or Zephyrgrams, appear as windows on your Athena terminal display. You can only receive Zephyrgrams when you are logged in, and you can only send them to other users who are logged in. The command to send a Zephyrgram is:

When you receive a Zephyrgram, you can get rid of it after you have read it by clicking on it with any mouse button.
