-@-codes are called such because they begin and end with the ''@'' (ASCII 64) ("at") character. The code names themselves (sandwiched between the @'s) must be entered using only ''UPPERCASE'' letters.

Some additional symbols and numbers may also be included in the @-code, but never a space.
  
 Some of the @-codes supported in Synchronet have unusual names or aliases specifically for //PCBoard// and/or //Wildcat!// BBS Software compatibility. Although this compatibility with these other BBS packages is less of a concern these days, the unusual code names remain. Some of the @-codes supported in Synchronet have unusual names or aliases specifically for //PCBoard// and/or //Wildcat!// BBS Software compatibility.
