Beginning a conversation: An example

Here is an example of how to begin a conversation with talk, using max as the person starting a conversation with bubba. Here max begins by typing:

talk bubba

bubba receives a message like this:

Message from max.
talk: connection requested by max
talk: respond with: talk max

To set up the two-way connection, bubba must enter:

talk max

After this connection has been established, the two can type simultaneously.
