Synopsis

command name

sequence of statements end command

defines a new globally visible user-defined command within a macro, i.e. a macro within a macro. User-defined commands defined by command statements are called by their name, possibly followed by parameters, in exactly the same way as macros. Within a macro, a user-defined command can only be called after it was defined. The statement command without parameters gives a list of all user-defined commands, and indicates where they are defined.
