+======Synopsis:======
+$__fromw__(<word> <word list>)
+======Technical:======
+   * If the <word> argument is omitted this function returns the empty string.
+   * The <word list> is literal strings.  Before EPIC4-1.1.10, the <word list> was a list of wildcard patterns.
+   * If <word> is not found in <word list>, this function returns the empty string.
+   * Otherwise, the function behaves "as if" the following had been performed: \\ <val> = findw(<word> <word list>) \\ <function_return> = restw(<val> <word list>)
+   * Remember that <wordlist> is a list of [[what is a word|words]].
+======Practical:======
+This function lets you get the part of <word list> that occurs AFTER
+AND INCLUDING the <word>.
+======Returns:======
+The portion of <word list> after and including the <word>.
+======Examples:======
+<file>
+$fromw(foobar one two foobar my shoe)    returns "foobar my shoe"
+$fromw(booya one two foobar my shoe)     returns ""  (empty string)
+$fromw(foobar f* fo* foobar foo* foob*)  returns "foobar foo* foob*"
+</file>
+======History:======
+This function first appeared in "+2" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC)
