Schema Processor Commands 

TurboIMAGE/XL provides several commands that you can use anywhere in the
schema to specify options available while processing the schema.  The
commands are:  $PAGE, $TITLE, and $CONTROL. The dollar sign ($) must
always be the first character of the record, immediately followed by the
command name, which must be completely spelled out.

If a parameter list is included with the command, it must be separated
from the command name by at least one blank.  Parameters are separated
from each other by commas.  Blanks can be freely inserted between items
in the parameter list.

Command records cannot contain comments.

Figure 3-3  illustrates the order of commands and other input required
when executing the Schema Processor in batch mode.  The job can also be
stored in a disk file and executed from a terminal.

Continuation Records 

To continue a command to the next record, use an ampersand (&) as the
last non-blank character in the current record.  The following record
must begin with a $.  The records are combined and the $ and & are
deleted and replaced by one blank character.  A command name or parameter
cannot be broken by &.  Characters beyond the 72nd character of each
record are ignored.
