Chatting with Fido2telebot and in any group:
Most command operations are constructed by starting the command with two command-symbols and terminating the command with two command-symbols and a new line. The command-symbols can be any of the following:

- . , = + / $ and their combinations.

Currently there are three commands:

SUBJ: (for specifying a subject)
TO: (to address your message to a specific name)
CC: (to generate a copy of the message to another echo)

Additional spaces between the commands is optional.
The commands are not case senstive.

Examples
========

[1] You can specify a custom subject:



[2] You can address the message to a specific name:

//to: firstname lastname//


[3] You can send a copy of the message to any other echo that
the tg BBS knows about:





Only one tagname is allowed per command line.


Examples of usage:

[Message 1]

//To: Brother Rabbit 2:460/5858//
..subj: #### ..


[Message 2]

..To: Brother Rabbit 2:460/5858..
++ subj: #### ==

[Message 3]



//to: firstname lastname//

NOTES:

Normally, when a message is posted, the first 1-69 characters of a
message will be used as the Subject.

This posting is subject to change and updates.
