you are looking for the rpc call 'sendalert' and alert.cpp in most clones. it needs a public key in the wallet and the matching private key to be accepted. google sendalert and you should find all you need.

I'm really quite sane!
This question is for anyone who is familiar with in particular Litecoin and Litecoin clones. How to send a "global message" to the block chain so that all clients will see it when they parse the block? Where in the source code is the unique key (or whatever is in use) for doing this, and how to generate one that is different from the other block chains? Thanks for any reply.

Arbitrary data can be put into a transaction at the cost of transaction fees. But nobody is going to see it unless they look for it. And there's no easy tool for doing this, you have to write a transaction yourself.

They're pretty darned anal when it comes to questions regarding anything not Bitcoin, but I'll eventually give it a try.
