1) what version of the software are you running?  The windowgram
client should no longer dump core.

2) The following commands should subscribe you to class message,
instance pizza zephyrgrams, then send you one:

zctl sub message pizza \*
zwrite -i pizza -m anybody hungry\?

comments:

- Note the shell metacharacters.  These tend to confuse new users (which
you probably aren't.
- "zctl sub message pizza" will subscribe you to
<message,pizza,user@REALM>, which is probably not what you want.  The
command I gave subscribes you to <message,pizza,*>, which is the
public instance.
- class is the first element in the tuple, instance is the second,
which is why you use -i, not -c in the zwrite.
