Hi there!

mesg y I said!!!!!

I've tried 'mesg y' and all I get is "Bad command or File name",
Does this mean all lurkers use Messy-Dross ?? <VBG>

Yes, I do know what 'mesg y' does - loosely equivalent to
  chmod g+w, o+w `tty`

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGHH!!!!!!!!  Speak ENGLISH for GOD's SAKE!!!!!  Not
everyone here is fluent in Confunix!!
*pant pant pant*....Okay, I'm relatively sane again...back to our
irregularly scheduled prospams....   ;)
