Input redirection syntax

A line may either start with a colon followed by a keyword or it starts with characters which are then interpreted as input. Keywords may be upper or lower case. Any character following the keyword and arguments are ignored.

Keywd	Description
:!	Comment - line is ignored
:PAUSE n	Sleep for n seconds
:BREAK	Trigger HALT/SINGLE STEP
:KEY#n	Trigger funtion key n (1 .. 24)
:#n	Key code n
:key	map key name to keycode (curses names, upper case only) the key names are defined in the file /usr/include/curses.h
::	Starting colon if the first input character is a ':' then you have to use '::'.

The next line from input file is read, whenever Eloquence keyboard entry is required (eg. unconditional WAIT or INPUT stmt). If input is redirected, the NO OPERATOR function returns nonzero.
