From command prompt.
c:\net send (hostname of person you want to send message to) (message)

you have to leave a space, net <space> send

net is a command, send is a subcommand

like there is net view and net use , etc, etc

I get the following when trying to send a message to a coworker down the hall (using 'net send BOB Hello')

An error occurred while sending a message to TIM.
The message alias could not be found on the network
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273.

[Edit]
Nevermind...I had the Messenger service disabled....works fine now.
