-----------------------------------
Creates labels from a database and a label file.
-----------------------------------

The LABEL command displays or prints labels under control of a label
definition file <file1>.  Label definition files are created with the
MODIFY LABEL or CREATE LABEL commands.

The default extension is .LBX for a label definition file.  If the label
definition file is on a drive other than the default drive or directory,
the drive designator and directory must also be specified.

If the command LABEL is issued without any additional arguments the Open
File dialog appears displaying a list of existing label files to choose
from.
