Nope, the idea is that if they don't have the flag, they don't see a
thing.

Well, what you can do is that in the detection for a &, it then checks
the next character, if the next character is a -, +, M or S, it goes on.
If it's an M or S, it does a special 'grabber' that takes everything
between ()'s. (It's possible, I've done it numerous times in my prompt
code) Basically, what you do, is you step character by character through
the string, adding each character to a separate string, until you hit the
other ). At that point, the string is ended with a \0, and then the
whole thing is decided what to do with, either sent as an !!MUSIC() or
!!SOUND, or trashed. The biggest problem will probably be patching your
color codes to accept this.
