% Command Prefix Character Functions:
%
% A command prefix character function must be tagged with the property
% 'COMMAND-PREFIX.  It should also define the property 'COMMAND-PREFIX-NAME
% to be a string that will be used to print the command name of commands
% that include a prefix character that is mapped to that function.  (The
% function DEFINE-COMMAND-PREFIX is used to set these properties.)  The
% function itself should return a command (see dispatch.sl for a description).
