16 send SMS, open direct connections, send acknowledged messages, transfer
17 files, detect other user's client, send UTF-8 encoded messages, execute
18 arbitrary commands upon any event, etc.

62 <tab> key several times on an empty input line to bring up msg commands
63 to message contacts recently talked to), add to add new contacts,
