3. GET command.

GET ALL | [username] | [number]

ALL refers to all usernames and tells the server to send you all the messages that come through the system.

[username] refers to a particular user. If a username is specified you will receive messages from that user AND server messages that are identified as user "scrambled".

The "GET [number]" message only receives messages from the user specified in the last "GET [username]" or "GET ALL" for all usernames. The first get connection that you make with the server assumes that you want all messages. For example, if you connect to the server and want to get 1 message, then:

	GET 1

This will assume that you want 1 message from ALL users. To get 1 from a particular user do this:

	GET [username] GET 1

Subsequent "GET 1" message will still receive messages from the given username.

4. STOP command.

STOP

This command stops the server from sending messages to you. It is used to close a GET connection.
