1.1       root        1: .ip \fBwrite\fP
                      2: The
                      3: .b save
                      4: command always writes the entire message, including the headers,
                      5: into the file.  If you want to write just the message itself, you
                      6: can use the
                      7: .b write
                      8: command.  The
                      9: .b write
                     10: command has the same syntax as the
                     11: .b save
                     12: command, and can be abbreviated to simply
                     13: .b w .
                     14: Thus, we could write the second message by doing:
                     15: .(l
                     16: w 2 file.c
                     17: .)l
                     18: As suggested by this example, the
                     19: .b write
                     20: command is useful for such tasks as sending and receiving
                     21: source program text over the message system.
