==== Creating ====

===== The Short Way =====

There are two quick ways to send out a document:

* datapad <device> sms send <id> <title> = <message>
* datapad <device> sms broadcast <title> = <message>

Both of these commands send a short message, but differ in how they do so. The first takes an ID, and is used to send an sms message to someone's account. the second one does not taken an ID, and is used to send the message to all of your followers. Please note that as long as you own a CommNet object (a document), you can edit it at any time, even after it is sent.

===== The Longer Way =====

We also have two commands for creating a document. they are:

* datapad <device> compose <title>
* datapad <device> compose public <title>

the difference between them is simply that adding, "public" before the title sets the visibility of the document such that anyone can view it. Otherwise, the document is private, and will only be visible to those with whom you share it.
