Hello managers!

I am wondering how it is that you can make a message appear on someone's
terminal emulator screen by typing in a command from your terminal
emulator screen. In VMS, the command is:

$ REPLY/USER=SSPALDIN "HELLO THERE!"

You could also use the /BELL switch to have the terminal make a sound
when the message appears on the screen.

I am using Xwindows and our DU version is 4.0B. Does anyone know how to
do these things?

Thanks!
