@.TH Command ANNOUNCE
.SY "announce"
The announce command is a variant of the telegram command.
It sends your message to \fIall\fR of the players in the game.
This convenient service typically costs $100 per announcement
(use `\*Qversion\*U' to determine th exact cost).
.s3
A banner line saying \*QANNOUNCEMENT\*U is prepended to your message
so that announcements won't be confused with telegrams.  In
all other respects, announcements are exactly the same as telegrams.

For example:
.EX announce
.NF
Enter telegram for everyone; end with ^D
