                                Command : TEND

 SYNTAX:
   [mc ##] Command : tend <SHIP> <COMMODITY> <AMT> <SHIPS>

The tend command allows you to transfer commodities from one of your ships  to
any number of other ships located in the same sector.  You enter the ship from
which commodities will be drawn, the commodity to be transferred,  the  number
of commodities to be transferred per ship, and the list of ships to be tended.

In order to participate in a tending operation, each ship needs to have mobil-
ity  and  crew.  Each ship to be tended must also be in the same sector as the
tending ship, and must belong to you.   Each  ship  participating  in  a  tend
operation will be charged mobility if any goods are transferred.

Note that a positive <AMT> indicates the amount the tender will try  and  give
to  each  ship,  while  a negative amount indicates the amount that the tender
will try to extract.
