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