messages transmitted between users (TELL command), this message is printed as soon as
possible without interrupting any console input/output currently in progress. The message
can be sent to the system console, even if no session is logged on or if an active session is
running in QUIET mode.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break
has no effect on this command.
