PSEUDOVE

Type:  General type of POPS symbol
Use:   Pseudo-verbs are magic symbols which cause FORTRAN routines to
       carry out specific actions.  Unlike verbs, pseudo-verbs are
       executed as soon as they are encountered by the compiler even
       in compile mode.  In general, the FORTRAN routines which are
       invoked will parse the remainder of the input line under
       special, non-standard rules.  Any normal code typed on the line
       ahead of the pseudo-verb will not be executed.
Grammar:  See the HELP listings for the specific pseudoverb.
Examples:    HELP  HELP
             ARRAY   JUNK(4, -7 TO 9)
             PROC DUMMY (I,J)
             LIST DUMMY
             DEBUG TRUE
             INPUTS MLOAD
