When you're done typing your message, hit return to move onto a new line. Then hold ctrl and press d to send the message. You should get a confirmation message telling you that the hey was sent successfully (the default confirmation message is "groovy") and then you'll be returned to the prompt.

When someone sends you a hey, it will appear in your terminal similar to the above example. The name of the user who sent it to you as well as the time and date appears up top. "EOF" stands for "End of file", meaning simply that it's the end of the message. | |||
Heys will automatically be sent to the terminal you've used most recently. This can be a little annoying as a hey may appear on top of something you were working on, or in the middle of an IRC session. Pressing ctrl and l together will clear the hey from your screen, but you can also decide what terminals you want to receive heys on through the 'mesg' command. | |||
Type 'mesg' at your prompt to check whether or not you're currently receiving heys in that terminal. | |||

This means that the terminal is set to receive heys, otherwise, it would be n. To change it simply enter either 'mesg n' or 'mesg y' at the prompt. Many users will set up a terminal simply for the purpose of receiving heys. | |||
