Examples:

> page me=Test Foo pages: Test You paged Foo with 'Test'.

> page me=;'s character tests. From afar, Foo's character tests. Long distance to Foo: Foo's character tests.

If your Idle attribute is set to something, then it is sent to anyone who successfully pages you after you have become idle by the period set by your @idletimeout. This is useful for when you are away from your terminal for a short while.

Also, you can selectively disable pages from certain players with the '@lock/page' command (players must pass the lock in order to page you). If someone cannot page you, they will be sent a message including your Reject attribute if they try. If someone pages you while you are not connected, they are sent a message including your Away attribute.

{ 'help page3' for more. }

You can also page many players at one time, where all the players you page will see the message.

Example: > p Foo, Bar, "Long John Silver"= Hi You paged (Foo, Bar, Long John Silver) with 'Hi'. To (Foo, Bar), Widget pages: Hi

You only need to type the player-list once, then the next time you page that player or set of players, you can abbreviate it with:

"p :waves." or, "p I'm back."

This will work until you page another player or list of players.
