Um, was that supposed to be helpful?

I know the command, I don't know what you're suggesting, so it ends up
being a waste of time.

It also doesn't answer the question I asked.  It's not so much as the
command to use as to "How to get it off my iMac and onto the
internet."  Perhaps that was my fault for not being clear.  Messages
sent using the command I sent gives no error message but the message
doesn't ever show up at my GMail account.
