    Renegade has a system for displaying system information in all locations on
    the board.  This is done using a set of codes called MCI (Message Command
    Interpreter).  These codes are entered with the character "%" followed by
    a two specific characters.  All the valid MCI codes are listed below.

       NOTE!: MCI commands are NOT case sensitive!

    In ACTIONS.LST ONLY, the following MCI codes are in effect.

      %G        Will display His/Her based on the sender's gender.
      %H        Will display Him/Her based on the sender's gender.

    In QUOTE SECTION OF STRING.DAT ONLY, the following MCI codes are in
    effect.

      @F        User the message is from.
      @T        User the message is to.
      @D        Date of the message.
      @S        Subject of the message.

    If you want to make sure that the code is spaced correctly, you
    can now pad the MCI with a code at the end.  An example of this is:
           v-- Code
        %UN#50      Will print the current user's name padded to 50
            ^^-|    spaces.
               |
               - Number of spaces

    This padding will also limit the MCI to a certain number of characters.
