*Text Substition Commands
XPCOM allows the user to tailor his output as he sees fit.
The text substitution commands allow placing special
characters in the outgoing text to "personnalize" the
transmission. These commands may be used in the End Key Text,
Drop Link Text, Brag Text, Brag Files and any other
text files the user whichs to create.
The user may also call other brag files or text from a
brag file or brag text line. Beware, do not call the
SAME brag file or brag text line within one command. This
can and WILL cause the program to lock up.
