==Notes on special command syntax==
Commands which take parameters may accept numbers, strings, or members of a predefined set of values. 
  ex:
  $ delay 50
  $ spawn 249 1
  $ name Quasar
  $ hu_overlay distributed
If string arguments contain whitespace, they must be in quotations. Quotations around strings are otherwise optional. 
  ex:
  $ echo "This has to be in quotes"
  $ i_error "R_FindVisplane: no more visplanes!"
Multiple commands can be run from one prompt by separating them with a semicolon. 
  ex:
  $ delay; kill
Variables of type integer, named-value, on / off, and yes / no can be affected by the following operators: 
*+ 
:Affixed to the end of the variable, it will increment it to the next valid value, but no higher than the maximum allowed. 
    ex:
    $ screensize +
    
*- 
:Affixed to the end of the variable, it will decrement it to the next lower valid value, but no lower than the minimum allowed. 
    ex:
    $ screensize -
    
*/ 
:Toggles through the variable values from minimum to maximum, wrapping around to the minimum value again when it is maxed out. This is most useful with two-state yes/no and on/off variables. 
    ex:
    $ hu_overlay /
