+# CLCMD -- Send a command line to the CL.  Virtually any general command
+# may be sent to the CL, providing a great deal of high level power at the
+# compiled task level.  Sending an explicit command to the CL, however,
+# requires that the task have detailed knowledge of the capabilities of
+# the CL and of the syntax of the command language.  This means that the task
+# is very dependent on the CL and may no longer work if the CL is modified,
+# or if there is more than one version of the CL in use in a system.  For
+# this reason CLCMD should only be used where it is truely necessary,
+# usually only in system utilities (for example, in a task like MAKE).
