Just as a side note, the extension agreed upon for Alpha files is .CBA, but the extension is not important.

=head2 loadFile (FILE_PATH[, STREAM])

Loads a single file. The "loadFolder" method calls this for each valid file. If STREAM is 1, the current contents of
the stream cache will be loaded (assuming FILE_PATH is omitted). You shouldn't need to worry about using STREAM, see
the "stream" method below.

=head2 stream (ALPHA_CODE)

Inputs a set of Alpha code directly into the module ("streaming") rather than loading it from an external document.
See synopsis for an example.

=head2 sortReplies

Sorts the replies already loaded: solid triggers go first, followed by triggers containing wildcards. If you fail to
call this method yourself, it will be called automatically when "reply" is called.

B<Update with v 1.7> - Reply sorting method reprogrammed: items are sorted with solid triggers first, then those with
wildcards and 16 whole words, then 15 whole words, 14, etc. and then unknown triggers, followed lastly by those that
contain NO full words.
