	Avalon has a built in scripting engine, which is based on the original Mac Wizard and Windows Wizard frontends, and should be compatible with scripts that are written for StormFront. Scripts should be placed in your ~/Documents/Simutronics/Scripts folder, and have the cmd extension. Scripts are started by starting a command with the script command character (a period by default), followed by the name of the script (with no extension). Only one script can be running at a time. Scripts can be ended by using the script character followed by a single k. Scripts can be executed from sub-folders by specifying the path relative to the Scripts folder in the script name.

	Avalon can process either the XML feed or the 'Wizard' feed from simutronics. Currently this would not result in a pleasant user experience, but a plugin could be written to process the extra information and display it properly.
			Avalon has a built in scripting engine, which is based on the original Mac Wizard and Windows Wizard frontends, and should be compatible with scripts that are written for StormFront. Scripts should be placed in your ~/Documents/Simutronics/Scripts folder, and have the cmd extension. Scripts are started by starting a command with the script command character (a period by default), followed by the name of the script (with no extension). Only one script can be running at a time. Scripts can be ended by using the script character followed by a single k. Scripts can be executed from sub-folders by specifying the path relative to the Scripts folder in the script name.

			The script commands for Avalon are:
			* echo - Output any text following the command directly to the game window
			* exit - Immediately ends script execution
			* goto - Move the script execution line to the matching label
			** labels are set by using a word followed by a colon (:) on a line
			* match - Takes a single word for a label, and then text to match
			* matchwait - Pause script execution until text received from the game triggers a previously declared match
			* pause - If followed by an integer value, script execution will be paused for that duration
			* put - Send any following text to the game as if the player had entered it into the command line
			* save - Save the following text in the special 's' variable
			* savevariable - synonym for save
			* wait - If the character is in Round Time, halt script execution until that Round Time is up. If the character is not, halt script execution until Avalon receives any text from the game
			* waitfor - Stop execution until text from the game matches the argument given
			* waitrt - Wait until Avalon receives Round Time data from the game

			Variables can be used in the arguments for a command and will be replaced at execution time by their value. Variables should be wrapped percent signs, ie, %s%.
