If you are using a T2 and a terminal program, it is...
send <callsign> message...
If you are using any TNC, you could fudge it with by placing the TNC in
converse mode and typing
:<callsign> :message...{01 (or 02, 03, 04 etc.)
and then hitting enter. According to the APRS spec, the colon is the
data identifier, indicating that it is a message. The callsign is a
fixed 9 character field padded with spaces, followed by another colon
and then the message, up to 67 characters. The message identifier if
used is { and up to 5 alphanumeric characters. Kinda like msg #1, #2, #3
etc. and messages without a message identifier are not to be
acknowledged.
