Special characters allow extended functions to be added to M.I.P.S.
Most special characters concern only people who wish to teach the system.

╚════════════════════╝
Equal sign = (Attachment)
────────────────────────────
Placed after command, it allows additional information to be attached.
If additional information is needed by a command and the equal sign
is not used, the user will be prompted for the added information.
EXAMPLE
───────
Teach> EXECUTE =DIR *.*: (Everything after the colon will be read as normal)
When using the equal sign in a response, ALWAYS use a colon (:)
after the last word of the attachment.
Broken bar | (Forced teach)
──────────────────────────────
Placed before the first word in a sentence, it forces that sentence to be
recorded. If user 1 uses the broken bar while at teacher level,
M.I.P.S. will ask for a new reply.

╚════════════════════╝
Caret ^ (Backspace)
──────────────────────
Placed before a word in a response, it forces the system to backspace
one character before displaying the word. Caret is used to
include words longer than 15 characters in responses.
EXAMPLE
───────
Teach> EEG stands for Electroenceph ^alograph.
In responses, break long words into segments of 15 characters
or less, and use the caret to rejoin them.

Placed alone in a reply, the double tilde causes the word following it
