After some consulting with a friend, we've come up with some suggestions
for relay commands we might like to see in the future.

From me:
/whowas  Same as IRC: to give the /whois info on the last person who used
         that nickname.  I realize this would be impossible to implement,
         but it would be nice to have. :-)
variations of /LI, /NA & /WHO that would list only the public channels
and the people on them.

From my friend:

/yell  To announce something to everyone on relay
/hush  To shut up the yells
/emote of some kind
/echo  to get a copy of what you just /m'ed...basically for confirmation
       that you sent it to the right person, that you actually DID send
       it, etc
/announcements  With any big info about relay get-togethers, system
       shut-downs, etc....
Plus anything that could display idle time and/or amt of time on
======
As you can probably tell, my friend has been spending lots of time on the
Internet Havens. :-)

She also suggested /secure to keep people from walking in on a private
channel, but I explained to her that V2.06b does that automatically. Now
if only the Urbana relay were upgraded to 2.06b....
About /yell & /hush, we realize these aren't going to happen because /yell
would be abused too much and newbies wouldn't know to use /hush, but
they'd be nice if they were practical. :-)

About /announcements (or however it would be abbreviated), I know that
announcements can be, and are, made at signon, but the signon stuff can
scroll by too fast to read. This would repeat any such messages. This is
the same idea as on VM systems, where, when you logon, you see whatever
LOGMSG has been set, but you can type Q LOG at any time to read it again.

     "I'm the Sage!" he said.  "I know *everything*!"
     "Like, okay," said Rad.  "How, like, does BitNet operate?"
     "Operate, schmoperate," the Sage said.  "The programmers were
drunk out of their minds when they designed it.  If it wasn't for m00sey
intervention, it wouldn't work at all!"
     "Wow," said Kei.  "He's good."
     "Of course I am!  I'm the Sage!  I know *everything!*"
