        	: reminder set/del <num>

	This command allows you to set reminders.  You'll be notified of the number
	of reminders you have for that day when logging in, and reminders will also
	be signified on the calendar output.  If the date for a reminder has passed
	then the reminder will automatically be removed.


.suggest
	Usage   : suggest

	Allows you to suggest something that you think needs changing or adding to 
	the talker.  The Wizzes really DO look at this and take notice of it, so 
	please make yourself heard and shape the talker to make it a better place.

.prompt
	Usage   : prompt

	Toggles the prompt on and off.  The prompt has the following layout:
		<current system time, time on, name!+>
	The + will only appear if you are invisible.
	The ! will only appear if you are ignoring anything.

.mode
	Usage   : mode

	This switches you between speech mode and command mode. 

	In speech mode everything you type is interpreted as speech 
	unless it is preceded by a dot. 

	In command mode you get a standard command type or prompt and
	everything is treated as a command. To talk you must explicitly use 
	the "say" command.

	Users who do a lot of 'mudding' on line may find it easier to switch
	to command mode.


.charecho
	Usage   : charecho

	This is a command that is only of use to people who use character mode
	clients. Some of these clients won't echo the characters input themselves
	even when told to do so so this command forces the talker to do it instead.
	The command is a toggle so using it will alternately flick the echoing on and
	off. If you switch echoing on even when your client is echoing you will see
	every character twice.
