  1.  Control Commands begin with #,@ or %  which must be placed in the first
  2.  column of a row.  The format of each command is critical to its correct
  3.  interpretation. For example, the Command to clear the screen is  #EF[,15,1]
  4.  The parameters in square brackets are optional but if they are used, the
  5.  commas must also be put in the correct places. If optional parameters are
  6.  not used, pre-programmed default values will be used in their place.
  7.  Each Command is explained within the HELP system and fully described
  8.  in the  TutorialWriter Tutorial.
