Functions

f(str) Takes a string and performs interpolation Uses {} as the delimiter.
aechoFile(window, filename) reads the contents of a file, converts it to decho and then dechos it
aechoFilef(window, filename) reads the contents of a file and then cechos it
cechoFile(window, filename) reads the contents of a file and then cechos it
cechoFilef(window, filename) reads the contents of a file, interpolates it as per echofile.f and then cechos it
dechoFile(window, filename) reads the contents of a file and then dechos it
dechoFilef(window, filename) reads the contents of a file, interpolates it as per echofile.f and then dechos it
hechoFile(window, filename) reads the contents of a file and then hechos it
hechoFilef(window, filename) reads the contents of a file, interpolates it as per echofile.f and then hechos it
echoFile(window, filename) reads the contents of a file, interpolates it as per echofile.f and then echos it
echoFilef(window, filename) reads the contents of a file, interpolates it as per echofile.f and then echos it
patchGeyser() Adds c/d/h/echoFile functions to Geyser miniconsole and userwindow objects
installGlobal() Installs c/d/h/echoFile and f to the global namespace, and adds functions to Geyser
