SYNTAX
[##:##] Command : read [yes|no|] The read command is used to read the telegrams sent you by other countries and by the game, (e.g. when you make a sale or are attacked).

After reading all your telegrams you may delete them by specifying "yes" or not by specifying "no" as an argument. If an argument is not supplied then you will be prompted to either answer "yes" or "no" to delete the telegrams. If you supply or answer "no", the telegrams will remain pending but you will not be reminded of them.

Deities can specify a  argument which selects a country's telegrams to read. If the  argument is supplied, the telegrams can not be deleted.

When telegrams arrive you are informed with: "You have a new telegram waiting ..." if there is just one new one, or "You have ten new telegrams waiting ..." if there are ten of them, or "You have several new telegrams waiting ..." if there are very many.

This command reads only telegrams & bulletins, use the 'wire' command to read announcements.
