15. 

          SO
          OPTION RECURSION
          SHOWOUT
          ST
          **

16. 

          LF
          OPTION NOPROGRAM
          LISTF
          **

17.  The HPCICOMMAND intrinsic allows command files and UDCs to be
     executed from within a program, as long as the user command has not
     specified OPTION NOPROGRAM. If the program has used the COMMAND
     intrinsic, however, user commands cannot be executed while the user
     is running the program, even if they have specified OPTION PROGRAM.

18. 

          SHOW
          OPTION NOLIST
          SHOWTIME
          LISTF
          OPTION LIST
          SHOWME
          **

19.  The use of the OPTION command within the body of a user command is
     limited to RECURSION/ NORECURSION and LIST/NOLIST. All other options
     may only be specified in the OPTION header(s).  Therefore, NOHELP
     should not have been specified in the body of the command file.
