\\ ·Allow you to display the " \ " character. Apparently the program uses \ as a default pre-command char. So you cant use it on its own because it will turn anything that follows it into a message command. If nothing follows it, you get an error and your game closes.
\C[n] ·Set the text's color (n is a color number) There are 20 colours numbered from 0 to 19, the colours change depending on the system graphic you use.
\S[n] ·Set speed of the message (n 1 - 20). 1 = fastest without pauses; 20 = slowest (and its slooooow)
\N[n] ·Shows name of the hero characters. (n is a number pertaining to the list of heroes in the Database)
\V[n] ·Shows variables number value. (n is the number of the variable)
\$ ·Shows the party's money. It appears in a window in the top right corner.
\! ·Pauses message. Show of the next word is done by pressing space bar. ex. "Test \! Testing" When the message displays; "Test" will show - (press space bar/enter) then "Testing" will show.
\. ·1/4 Delay before next letter.
\| ·1 Delay before next letter.
\_ ·Shows half a space. If it looks like a couple letters are not far enough apart, use this \_ to space them a bit.
\^ ·This causes the message to close by itself .Use it with \| \| \| \^ and the message will close after a few seconds. Use it by itself and the message closes as soon as the text finishes displaying.
\>/\< ·Shows the letter of " Store that it is put in "\>" and "\<" momentarily. Usage: \>

< will display X in the message. Gemin-eye Note: I could not get this to work right. <shrug>
