+======Synopsis:======
+__queue__ [<flag>] <name> [<number>] [<commands>]
+======Description:======
+__QUEUE__ allows for a sort of batch processing in ircII-EPIC.  It is a
+convenient mechanism for preparing to execute a command at a later,
+undetermined time.  It can also be used as a sort of dynamically
+growing alias.
+Sets of commands may be stored into named queues; there is no limit
+to the number of queues that may exist, or the number of commands that
+may be present in a queue.  For queues with multiple commands, the
+commands must be surrounded by curly braces.
+======Options:======
+|-delete        |delete the specified entry number in the named queue             |
+|-do            |runs the commands in the named queue             |
+|-no_flush      |does not flush commands (for use only with -do)             |
+|-flush         |flush the named queue without running the commands             |
+|-list          |show the contents of the named queue             |
+|-show          |show the contents of all queues             |
+|-expand_now    |expand <commands> before adding entry to the named queue             |
+|-help          |show syntax information             |
+======Examples:======
+To add an item to the queue "foo":
+      queue foo {
+         echo This is a queued command.
+         echo Isn't it cool?
+      }
+To delete an item from a queue with multiple items:
+      queue -delete foo 2
+======Bugs:======
+Error checking is not horribly tight with __QUEUE__.  Trying to confuse the
+client with multiple arguments that don't belong together will probably
+succeed.  Using multiple flags should be avoided whenever possible.
