Look up a command or topic below. The help text keeps the game's wording, including its examples and warnings.

<a id="help-commands-bang-caret"></a>
## ! ^

**Verbatim in-game help.**

```

Use ! to repeat the last command typed at the keyboard.

Use ^ to replace a string from the last command with a new string.  The
syntax is the same as in unix: "^old-string^replacement"

Examples:

  > tell rasmusse Hi there, how are you?
  No-one by that name here.

  > ^rasmusse^rasmussen
  You tell Rasmussen, 'Hi there, how are you?'

  > ^you^you doing^
  You tell Rasmussen, 'Hi there, how are you doing?'

## QUI SHUTDOW

**Verbatim in-game help.**

```

Just to prevent accidental quittings and/or shutdowns.
This command doesn't DO anything, it simply is.
