&gt;&gt; I also allow the user to enter commands which bypass the filter and
&gt;&gt; head straight for the parser without the extra processing.  This
&gt;&gt; allows:
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt;   &gt; get bag
&gt;&gt;   You are attacked by the Kobold!
&gt;&gt;   Do you want the:
&gt;&gt;     1) Red bag
&gt;&gt;     2) Tattered paper bag
&gt;&gt;     3) Mouldy sack
&gt;&gt;     0) Cancel command
&gt;&gt;   The kobold hits you with his club.  That hurt!
&gt;&gt;   &gt;&gt; !! retaliate                // "ret" would have done as well
&gt;&gt;   You attack the kobold.
...rest of fight ellided...
&gt;
&gt;	My only real objection to the above is this:  If I have a brain fart
&gt;when the kobold walks in and forget all my '!!'s I dont want my
&gt;commands interupted by any filter.  Remembering if I was at the basic
&gt;prompt or if I was in a sub menu during a fight would be the last
&gt;thing on my mind in the midst of a mortal fray. 

This is why I'm also allowing a blank command to abort the selection.

&gt;	The kobold stabs you in the knee-cap.
&gt;	&gt;&gt; ret with ls
&gt;	Please select a bag (0 - 3)
&gt;	The kobold stabs you in the foot!  Ouch!
&gt;	&gt;&gt; ret with ls
&gt;	Please select a bag (0 - 3)
&gt;	&gt;&gt; flee
&gt;	The kobold takes your left leg off at the knee. Oh, the blood!
&gt;	&gt;&gt; !! flee
&gt;	You can't go anywhere in this condition!
&gt;	&gt;&gt; !! curse
&gt;	You swear loudly and for a long time.

Becomes:

  The kobold stabs you in the knee-cap.
  &gt;&gt; ret with ls
  Please select a bag (0 - 3)
  The kobold stabs you in the foot!  Ouch!
  &gt;&gt;
  &gt; flee
  You run like a crazed devil.
  The kobold takes your left leg off at the knee. Oh, the blood!
  You are now running about in very small circles.
  &gt; n
  You can't go anywhere in this condition!
  &gt; curse
  You swear loudly and for a long time.
