HELP SECTION

VERB
Type:  Pseudoverb
Use:   To create one or more new verbs as numbered symbols. May
       be used only when typing a procedure.  This is used to
       define pseudonyms for existing verbs.  It may also be
       used to add new verbs - which have been created by AIPS
       programmers and added by them to AIPS - to your symbol
       table without doing a RESTORE 0.  NOTE that this only
       works if you know the correct verb numbers to match those
       defined for the system.  These may be read using EXPLAIN
       (or HELP) POPSDAT .
Grammar:  VERB name1 - v1 , name2 = v2 , ...
       where the namei are the names of the new verbs and the vi
       are the verb numbers (or names of verbs) to be assigned
       to them.  The = sign and value are required.  All verbs
       are global.
Example:  VERB  TESTA = 900, TESTB = T2VERB
       create new verbs TESTA and TESTB which are pseudonyms for
       T1VERB and T2VERB.
