messages within a network

How do I send the computer next to me a message from the command prompt? I was told there was a way. In Windows 98 I would use winpopup. I've tried net send but isn't there another way? Thank you for your time

net send {name | * | /domain[:name] | /users} message

Use the this at the dos prompt
net send computername message in plain text no quotes

for example;

net send dennis This is a message test


This should do it. For other net commands enter
net /?

Why the command prompt? You can send a console msg from the drop down menus in Admin Tools.
