                                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.  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.
