         ͼ

                What follows is a list of all of the script commands that
         can be used in a function block (.FB) file.  Any special rules that
         apply to the command when used in a .FB file will be listed after
         the command.  The commands are broken down by the sections
         in the main part of this documentation that they are listed in.

             What follows is a keyboard layout showing all of the available
         symbols that may be used within a function block (.FB).  All other
         symbols are unusable and may cause the BBS to lock (&), do nothing
         (%), or give a menu (?).  Also note that you can not use lowercase
         letters in your function block as they are ignored by VBBS, which
         assumes uppercase for all alphabetic characters entered by the
         user.  It is also possible to use extended ASCII characters in a
         function block, although they have not all been tested.

             ~ `   !   @   #   $       ^       *   (   ) -_ + = \ |
                  Q   W   E   R   T   Y   U   I   O   P   [ { ] }
                   A   S   D   F   G   H   J   K   L   ; : ' "
                    Z   X   C   V   B   N   M   , <  . >   /
