                                Command : TEND

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: tend <SHIP> <COMMODITY> <AMT> <to-SHIP/FLEET>

The  tend  command  allows  transfer of commodities from a particular (supply)
ship to patrol boats, submarines, battleships, etc. while at sea.

If you had cargo ship #16 which had food, and your fleet S  needed  food,  you
could resupply the entire fleet with 20 units of food by typing
   [##:##] Command: tend 16 food 20 S

Requirements  are  that  the  tending  ship  must be in the same sector as the
tended ships, and it must be yours, or an ally's.  During bad weather, tending
is  impossible  due  to heavy seas.  A positive <AMT> indicates the amount the
tender will give away, while a negative amount indicates the amount  that  the
tender  will  try  to  extract from each ship. (However, you cannot take goods
from an ally by giving a negative amount)
