INPUT.APL is read by Citadel after it returns from a shell, and the data in it is used to change Citadel's current settings. This is a text file, with each line starting with a character that serves as a flag specifying what is on the line, followed by text that specifies the data. After the data, the line is either ended by a carriage return/line feed (ASCII 13 and 10) combination, or just a single line feed (ASCII 10). Not all data is required to be in INPUT.APL: just write what you desire to change. Also, Citadel ignores any field it does not know about. The following data types are defined by Citadel:
