can "bzadmin -ui stdboth" send to admin channel?

I am working on a bzadmin bot which is just a perl wrapper to bzadmin -ui stdboth. I'd like to have it talk on the admin channel, but I can't figure out how to do it (I can't use the arrow keys because that is not part of -ui stdboth). Is there a command I am missing?

Can you use the slot number? ie. /msg #0 txt

/msg #0 sends a private message to bzadmin (because it is the first client connected). I want bzadmin to send messages to the admin channel.

well I suppose I could just send an individual privmsg to each admin to accomplish the same thing, but then it wouldn't make that horrible admin chat noise like I want it to.

Well I was able to get this to work by adding a quick hack to the bzadmin source that makes lines starting with @ always target the admin channel.

or just add a plugin that makes /team

/team admin blah
/team red blah
/team rogue blah

A long time ago I tried hardcoding that into the game, never did it though cause I didn't understand commands.
