 +======Synopsis:======
 +[[load]] meta-compat \\
 +[[bind]] <sequence> <action>
 +
 +======Description:======
 +Older versions of the client did not have the ability to [[bind]] arbitrary
 +strings.  Instead, there was a state machine that you could control to handle
 +complex sequences.  Although the client has not required manual control
 +of the state machine since epic4pre2.001, older scripts may often still 
 +try to control the state machine when they bind things like "META2-[" or 
 +whatever.  These scripts don't work any more.
 +
 +If you need to load an old script that sets up keybindings by binding the
 +meta states, you can [[load]] this script first, and it automagically 
 +takes care of the details.  It uses black magic, you don't want to know.
 +It's a good idea to update old scripts to not use meta states.
 +
 +======History:======
 +This script was written by the master of ircII black magic, |Rain|, and
 +first appeared in epic4-1.2.5.
