If I remember correctly, when you type "zwrite user", it sends a "ping" message into the system. If this ping is not acked, you get a message saying something to the affect that the user is not logged on or has messaging disabled. The default zwgc.desc file normally ignores (doesn't display) these messages. If you hack with your zwgc.desc file, you can get a message to pop up indicating someone is writing to you and you can even send a message back.

Hacking zephyr was an excellent way to avoid studying.
