<H1>Chapter 1. Introduction to Electronic Communications</H1>

<H2>Overview of Electronic Communications</H2>
Many programs on MUSIC fit into the category of electronic communications.  They
can be divided into 2 groups:  internal and external.

<H3>Internal Communications</H3>
MUSIC supports many simultaneous users.  These users can communicate with each
other using the following programs:
<ul>
<li>CONF
Electronic Conferencing:
An electronic conference allows a group of users to discuss topics of mutual
interest at a time convenient to everyone.  To invoke this program, type "CONF"
in command mode.  See Chapter 2 - Conferencing.
<li>MAIL
Electronic Mail:
MUSIC provides the MAIL program for sending and receiving electronic mail.  To
invoke this program, type "MAIL" in command mode.  See Chapter 3 - Electronic
Mail.
<li>CHAT
Interactive Conferencing:
The CHAT command accesses interactive conferencing.  As each user participating
in the conference enters text, the text is recorded on the screen.  This written
conversation is different from the CONF program as it is designed for immediate
response by the participants.  See Chapter 2 - Conferencing.
<li>TELL
Single Line Messages:
The TELL command is used to send a single line message to another user signed on
to the system.  The message text is immediately displayed on the receiver's
screen.  See Chapter 2 - Conferencing.
</ul>

<H3>External Communications</H3>
The following programs are used to communicate with colleagues using remote
computers.

etc.
