    Without getting into specifics, one is clearly told what commands are
not acceptable to use.
    If you are not told explicitly not to use a command, its fair game.
    I would use every command in my arsenal to get the job done. Someone is
getting bad info. The test is hard enough without worrying about this. Read
the lab and you'll know what you can't use. If it ain't explicitly
prohibited, use it!
