PPFA Keywords

A keyword is a word in PPFA that must be entered exactly as shown. Keywords cannot be used as second names for commands (like FONT and OVERLAY) which can have 2 positional parameters as names. This is less restrictive than prior versions of PPFA.

Note: When keywords are longer than five characters, they may be abbreviated to the first five characters. The shorthand form of the keyword must also be avoided as a name. For example, since PAGEH and CONDI are 5 character forms for PAGEHEADER and CONDITION, they cannot be used as second names.
