I need to learn how to write better.  This is exactly what I ment to say.
Thanks Ben! :-)

Use a Pipe "|" char and test the input.  Pipe is pretty much accepted among
the people I know in the server world (Unix and Linux).  It looks the same
on almost every platform, and it's easy to test for.  This is my
recomendation 100%. :-)
