# huh(1)

redisplay last telegram received.

## NAME

huh - redisplay last telegram received.

## SYNOPSIS

**huh** \[-sk\]

## DESCRIPTION

*Huh* reprints the last telegram that was sent to you. It is intended for use when telegrams get garbled on your screen.

*Huh* will only work if you had the \`\`record'' flag turned on when the telegram was received. This flag can be turned on with the [*mesg*(1)](/mesg/1.md) command.

Normally, *huh* will delete each message immediately after displaying it. If the **-k** flag is given, the message is non deleted, and the next *huh* command will display it again. On the other hand, the **-s** flag suppresses the display of the message, so it will just be deleted.

Normally, only the last message is retained, except when [*amin*(1)](/amin/1.md) is run with the **-p** flag.
