| 18 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 19 | .B Owl |
|---|
| 20 | is a fully integrated tty based zephyr client for sending and |
|---|
| 21 | receiving zephyrs. It is curses-based, allows for emacs style editing |
|---|
| 22 | of outgoing messages and uses a perl configuration language for |
|---|
| 23 | setting options and customizing message formatting. Owl will also run |
|---|
| 24 | happily without a configuration file. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | Once owl is started typing 'h' will display a help screen. Typing ':' |
|---|
| 27 | enters command mode, allowing the user to type an owl command line. |
|---|
