DOS Messaging help

Hi everyone,

Me and my brother both have computer at our house, but my parents won't allow him to get chatting software (aim, yahoo messenger, etc.).  We have used the MOS-DOS posted all over the internet:

@echo off
:A
Cls
echo MESSENGER
set /p n=User:
set /p m=Message:
net send %n% %m%
Pause
Goto A

But this is time-consuming and annoying if you are using full-screen DOS to do, ahem, other stuff; it renders a pop-up message instead of showing you in the message in DOS format, which immediately brings you out of full-screen DOS mode.  i know there is a msg.exe command, but how does it work?

Thx
