+- **Sending files:** files on the message that calls it, and on the message
+  it replies to, are saved in the work folder under
+  `.discord/<channel>/<message>/` and the prompt says where they are, so it
+  can read, run or edit them. Text files up to 32 KB are pasted into the

+  after 7 days. Files in other people's earlier messages are only named.
