Here's a script from James Igoe that presents a graphical interface for sending one message to up to 6 IDs. The script also keeps a record of the last twenty commands. The script does require some additional files -- download the ZIP package below to get all the files required by the script (updated 1/18/02 with a ZIP of the additional files).
Download the Netsend.zip package.
