=:CWI= is used to change the standard IHSPRINT
control word indicator should it become
necessary to do so. The standard indicator is
the colon (:). When this character is found
in the first position of a line in the input
file, IHSPRINT assumes the next 3-6 characters
represent a valid IHSPRINT control word (e.g.
:dson, :eon, :eject).
Under certain circumstances, you may want to
temporarily change this indicator to another
character. The :CWI control word is used to
do this. For Example
The single parameter (n) associated with this
control word is the character which you now
want to become the new IHSPRINT Control Word
Indicator. It can be any valid ASCII
character but care should be taken to insure
that it is not a character which might
accidentally appear in the first position of
the text.
