#DEFAULT

DEFAULT

Syntax: #DEF special-char-string
Related: #NODEF

Saves your current special characters on the stack and sets the defaults. This is useful at the beginning of a script to make sure standard parse characters are used while reading the script. Use the #NODEF command at the end of the script to restore the characters.

A string can be given as an argument to specify the new values of the special characters. This is a 11 character string which must be enclosed in quotes. Each character in the string represents one of the special characters. To leave the character as the default, you can use the x character as a placeholder. The characters are:

1 Command Char (#)
2 Separator Char ( ; )
3 Variable Char (@)
4 History Char (!)
5 Parameter Char (%)
6 Movement Char (.)
7 Focus Char ( : )
8 Quote Char (~)
9 Map Direction Char (>)
10 Class Char (/)
11 Line escape char (`)
