Make sure to read the comments for a description of what everything does. Also be sure to return true for all <b>command</b> handlers, unless you want MCS to print out an "Unknown command" message
when the command gets executed :P. Make sure to follow standards - use CoreMessaging.lua functions for messaging, dashes for no parameter commands and tildes for vice versa,
