+//COMMODE// is essentially a //REMARK// script which prefixes the USER's name to whatever the user types.  It is used for chatting with other users, but requires that each //TERMINAL// be LINKED together.  **A regular chat is held each Saturday at 5:30PM until 7:00PM Pacific Time.** [[#world_clock|(See the World Clock section for the meeting time in your time zone.)]]  To join, run //SYSTAT// to see who is running //COMMOD// and use //SEND// to request a link.
+__Setting up COMMODE__
+  * [[http://wiki.twenex.org/tutorials:access|Log to your account]] (if new, please login as //NEW NEW//)
+  * Each user must set //TERMINAL RECEIVE LINKS// at EXEC (the //@// prompt)
+  * Users must have their terminals linked - This can be done by one user via //TALK// or via ^L in //COMMODE//
+__Commands within COMMODE__
+  * ^B - Blanks all linked TTYs if they are VTs and not Teletypes
+  * ^L - Add another USER's terminal to COMMODE
+  * ^N - Change your name
+  * ^X - Push to EXEC - others can observe
+  * ^Z - Break all links and exit COM MODE
+  * <ESC> - Short cut for Go Ahead
+__COMMODE etiquette__
+In //COMMODE// it is easy to have a conversation run over itself - id est people talking over each other.  When this happens, you can yield to another user by pressing //<ESC>//.  This will print a GA or Go Ahead.  It is also best to end your side of the conversation with a GA or a double //<RET>//.  This will signal to others that you are done speaking.
+__Disconnecting__
+  * ^Z will break all links and exit //COMMODE//
+  * Typing //BREAK// in //EXEC// will break links
