G4SLKSNDM

The G4SLKSNDM command is used to send a message to a specific channel on your team.

When a message is sent the action will be logged in the file G4SLKMHPF file. The message itself will be stored in the IFS as a stream file named g4slk_log_<id>.txt where <id> is a unique ID. The directory that the log file is placed in can be changed using the Log Directory parameter.
