##| FORCE supports most of the dBASE command set.  Because FORCE is a true  |#
##| native code compiler, many environmental commands of dBASE, such as SET |#
##| TALK ON, HELP, and MODIFY REPORT are not supported by FORCE.            |#
##| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |#
##| FORCE is designed for thorough and efficent programming.  FORCE adds a  |#
##| diverse set of commands such as BUILD and OPEN to simplify programming  |#
##| tasks.  Many FORCE commands, including LOCATE & AVERAGE, are routines   |#
##| crafted specifically by the compiler for your program.  Other dBASE     |#
##| compilers rely on less efficient generic routines.                      |#
##| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |#
##| FORCE has extended the dBASE language by allowing specification of an   |#
##| explicit alias for database commands. Database commands may be prefixed |#
##| with the ! character and an alias name to cause the command to operate  |#
##| on that alias.  for example, the command:                               |#
##|                                                                         |#
##|                   !alias SKIP                                           |#
##|                                                                         |#
##| skips the database identified by !alias.                                |#
