			SENDTELE SYSTEM:

	1.	The kernel of this system is the two files TELESEND.COM and
		SENDTELE.EXE.  The TELESEND.COM file is submitted to a
		batch queue.  It then allocates the TT device that will be
		used to dial out to the TELEMAIL system.  The list of
		devices is taken from the TELEPORT.LIS file which is a
		formatted file containing a list of ports and the type
		of modem attached to each port.  The SENDTELE.EXE file is
		then executed and it uses a script file to send a message file
		to a list of TELEMAIL users designated by the VAX sender.
		When the SENDTELE.EXE program is finished sending the message,
		it checks to see if any of the TELEMAIL usernames were invalid,
		and logs this information as well as the id of the message
		that TELEMAIL provides.  This final information is returned
		to the VAX sender via VMS mail.

	2.	The command file SENDTELE.COM is used by the user to create
		the script that the SENDTELE.EXE program uses.  It also
		allows the user to create a message file that is sent to
		the users designated by the VAX sender.  The SENDTELE.COM
		allows the user to select one of 4 modes of sending the
		message file.  The message can be send without any special
		options, or as an URGENT message, or a RETURN-RECEIPT, or
		as an URGENT-RETURN-RECEIPT message.  There are other message
		modes that can be used, but these were the most popular at
		our location.  You need only add those you wish to the 
		SENDTELE.COM file at the appropriate location.  I've also
		added some capability in this file to ease the use of sending
		mail via the internet gateway.  If you look in the command
		file, you'll see that if a user enters the TELEMAIL username
		with a /JAPAN, the routine then reformats the username to
		use the proper addressing for sending mail to JAPAN.  You
		can modify this scheme as necessary for other internet links.

	3.	Another routine used by the SENDTELE system is the RFMTMAIL.EXE
		file located in the SENDTELE system directory.  This program is
		actually the REF.EXE program provided with the latest version
		of VAXNET.  I renamed the file, so that the TELEMAIL environment
		had a consistent program located where it would not get confused.
