FILE HANDLING:

DOWNDATE  - Similar to the UPDATE directive, but restores the file  to 
what it was before you screwed it up.

CONDITIONAL BRANCHING INTRUCTIONS

ON DISASTER - Similar to ON ERROR GOTO only it doesn't go anywhere. It 
just  quits processing and dumps all the files, the program,  a  cross 
reference  listing,  and  that names and telephone  numbers  of  every 
knowlegeable programmer and analyst in the country.

MAYBE  -  A qualifier for conditional  branch  instructions.  Branches 
about 50% of the time and should be used when the user isn't sure what 
he/she wants.

HOWEVER - A qualifier for branching instructions that is a combination 
of WHILE, UNLESS, UNTIL, and THEN. Its outcome is uncertain and should 
be used only when the program specs are vauge.

PROGRAMMING/DEBUGGING AIDS:               

SET  BELLS  - When encoutered, this instruction will sound  70  bells, 
reverse  the  screen, and blink 20 times in  double-wide,  double-high 
characters: "OK, YA GOT HERE! SO WADDYA WANT, A MEDAL?"

AUTOTIMER  - This instruction pulls the plug and invokes the  DISASTER 
routine when your program exceeds 5 minutes CPU time.

KAMIKAZE  - This lifesaver is a combination of KILL and DELETE. It  is 
placed  beyong the END statement. If the program ever gets  there,  it 
will  delete all of the data files in your account, and  itself,  then 
force a hardware malfunction, allowing you to save face.

DOSOMETHINGQUICK  -  When  this instruction is  encountered,  it  will 
transfer control to the AGREEA.BLE program package, which will  accept 
any  kind of garbage, mix it up a little, and display on the  terminal 
portions  of  scripture taken from the Psalms. The only  parameter  is 
pointed to on entry by R5, and is completely ignored.

TRYANOTHERTECNIQUE  - This timesaver is utilized when you can't get  a 
program  to  work.  It shuffles your variables around  and  gives  you 
another  crack  at  it.  When the  machine  stumbles  onto  the  right 
solution, it SAVEs the program and gives you all the credit.

COMPILER DIRECTIVES AND SWITCHES:

/DOCUMENTATION  -  This  neat instruction will scan  the  program  for 
keywords,  access  the  BUREAUCRATIC.WORDS  database  with  a   random 
technique,  blend  the  words  together, and  spit  out  30  pages  of 
incomprehensible jargon.

/GRAMMAR - Analyzes your syntax and makes any necessary changes

/LOGIC - Analyzes you logic and unkinks it.
