Synopsis:
   flush

Description:
   THIS COMMAND IS DANGEROUS AND ITS USE SHOULD BE AVOIDED!

   This discards any incoming data from the server until a full second passes
   with no new data from the server.  This also discards the contents of the
   window's "hold buffer" when you are in HOLD_MODE.

   The FLUSH command is blocking; the client will lock up and not accept
   any input whatsoever until the flush is completed.

   The FLUSH command cannot actually tell the server to stop sending you
   data; if you are being flooded, you will simply have to wait until the
   flood stops.

   Because FLUSH just blithely discards incoming information from the 
   server without parsing it, severe damage to epic's internal data structures
   probably will result if you use this command.  This is not a bug and the
   damage it causes at runtime cannot be repaired.

   This command may be redesigned in the future to not be so unreasonable 
   about causing damage.
