   -cr                 Convert the char literals `\`+`r` to `\r`.
   !cr                 Do not convert the char literals from `\`+`r` to `\r`.
   -lf                 Convert the char literals `\`+`n` to `\n`.
   !lf                 Do not convert the char literals from `\`+`n` to `\n`.
   -tab                Convert the char literals `\`+`t` to `\t`.
   !tab                Do not convert the char literals from `\`+`t` to `\t`.

   -crlf               Converts cr, lf, and tab literals.
   !crlf               Do not convert any.

   -wrap               Wraps the output to the console width. Wraps each
                       argument by itself.
   !wrap               Turns wrapping off.

   {color}             The color to use. Use the color value (number) or name
                       of the color (case in-sensitive). All text following the
                       color will be displayed in that color.
                   
                       To specify the foreground and background colors,
                       separate the colors with a forward slash `{fore/back}`.
                       If you want to only change the background color, remove
                       the forecolor, but leave the forward-slash `{/back}.

      The flags above are all 'chainable', meaning they can be used
      repeatedly throughout the command-line arguments. See the examples
      for more details.

   -file "filename"    Displays the file contents. Colors are read the same as
                       if entered on the command-line.

   -s color            Apply the color to the console, not just the text being
                       output.

   /?                  display help.
   /? examples         display examples.
   /? colors           display colors.
