+ *              structure (with an open socket connected!). This
+ *              identifies the physical socket where the message
+ *              originated (or which caused the m_function to be
+ *              executed--some m_functions may call others...).
+ *
+ *      sptr    is the source of the message, defined by the
+ *              prefix part of the message if present. If not
+ *              or prefix not found, then sptr==cptr.
+ *
+ *              (!IsServer(cptr)) => (cptr == sptr), because

+ *                      have the prefix.

+ *
+ *                      (sptr != cptr && !IsServer(sptr) means
+ *                      that message originated from a remote
+ *                      user (not local).
+ *
+ *              combining
+ *
+ *              (!IsServer(sptr)) means that, sptr can safely
+ *              taken as defining the target structure of the
+ *              message in this server.

+ *      2)      MyConnect(sptr) <=> sptr == cptr (e.g. sptr
+ *              *cannot* be a local connection, unless it's
+ *              actually cptr!). [MyConnect(x) should probably

+ *                              this points to an empty string.
