339 # * Eat control characters, single quotes, and question marks
340 # * Translate spaces and forward slashes to underscores

361 # You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
362 # * Close the CD tray using eject -t (if available in eject and supported by
364 # * Set the CD speed. You can also use the built-in options, but you can also
365 # set it here. In Debian, eject -x and cdset -x do the job.
366 # KEEP IN MIND that executables included in pre_read must be in your $PATH or
367 # you have to define them with full /path/to/binary
