+- "eval": process the reset of the line with Perl's string eval()

+  to append it accordingly (e.g. "\r\n").

 
 

-If the input line starts with '\>>> ', the backslash is removed and the
-rest of the line is passed as input. This is used by the client tool,
-which understands the '>>> ' prefix for similar processing.

+  of line character.

+- "sleep": interpret the rest of the line as an integer and sleep for
+  that number of seconds before proceeding. No data will be output to
