write command, wait for the prompt ">" and then start to write the message. After that, enter <CTRL-Z> to
indicate the ending of PDU and begin to send the message. Sending can be cancelled by giving <ESC>
character. Abortion is acknowledged with "OK", though the message will not be sent. The message
reference <mr> is returned to the TE on successful message delivery. The value can be used to identify
message upon unsolicited delivery status report result code.
