- .uh DESCRIPTION
- .lp
- This command allows application programs to use a logical name,
- .i name ,
- in interactions with \*(PP.
- Suppose the user of an application program specifies a
- collection of rules that retrieve data and that the program fails for
- some reason.
- Then, under ordinary circumstances,
- all the rules would need to be reentered when the program is restored.
- Alternatively,
- the
- .b attachas
- command
- may be used
- before defining the rules the first time.
- Then, upon restoring the program,
- the
- .b attachas
- command will reattach the user to the active rules.
- .uh BUGS
- .lp
- This command is not implemented in Version \*(PV.
