   signature" messages at the end of each reply from Cerebus.

Comments: You can comment your message by using the "#" sign at the beginning
   of a line, or by using the ";" within a line. Everything after and
   including the semi-colon is ignored.
   
Good deal, eh?

Here's an example. This will get you the main page, with a list of links off
   of it:

;get the help file
help

;Turn textification on so that I don't get the HTML code.
textify on

;get the main page
get home

;end the session
bye
