Special Characters

XPI recognizes the following special characters:


! - indicates the rest of the line is a comment
@ - starts reading commands from a command file
$ - spawn to the system
" - protects other special characters
= - seperate parameter-value pairs


As a result, you should observe the following rules when entering expressions on the command line.
