                                Command : STAT

 SYNTAX:
   [mc ##] Command : stat <UNIT-TYPE> <UNITS>

The stat command allows you to transfer all you know about a list of items you
know  about across the binary data connection.  You specify the unit type, and
the list of units to be transferred.

You must have the data port opened before this command can  take  place.   For
most  items (sectors, ships, etc) you must own the item to transfer data about
it.  For other items (nations, loans, trades, etc) the stat  will  succeed  to
some degree, although some fields may be excluded.

Your Empire client should take care of opening the binary data connection.  If
your client doesn't handle this, then you shouldn't use this command.
