Notes
- By default, Player matches only the number of characters specified in the verb parameter. This feature has the benefit of ignoring trailing punctuation, but will occasionally find a false match.
- This setting affects all string matching done by any verb. It remains in effect until changed or until a reboot.
- Modifiers and Keys are constants not strings. Although some abbreviations have been pre-defined, partial matches will not work.
- There is no way to alter the default (other than to execute this verb when Frontier starts up).
