The '!' is also a relic from INFORMATION, as the Prime-supplied Subroutines all began with it (!EXIST, !AMLC, etc) and this was supported within universe so that users only had to catalog the program (if it didn't already exist) and would not have to change their programs.
The '$' and '-' are also from INFORMATION, but I have no recollection of where these actually came from. My documentation, while mentioning them, does not indicate their origin.
Hope this helps.

When globally cataloging, the catalog name begins with a *, -, $ or ! according to my documentation.
Before I create a slew of gaffes, is there any significance to WHICH of those 4 characters a user-created function or subroutine should use?
I imagine there are 4 different characters for a reason.
