*
* revision 0.0 - 3/24/86
* revision 0.1 - 3/4/87  - changed /star to /@
* revision 0.2 - 5/13/87 - errors processed via ERRMSG
* revision 0.3 - 3/23/88 - bug in quotation mark processing (/T="17-AUG-1982")
* revision 0.4 - 7/28/88 - treat "[" similar to '"' -  allowing commmas as in
*			   TEMP[D=1,G=U] 
* V200:  12/8/89 - correctly handle tabs and spaces preceding ! comment
* 	  2/8/90 - fill in command alias, if any
* Unix/RISC port - 1/91 - cant use "/star" in documentation
*                 10/91 - added TM_LEGAL_NAME for improved syntax checks
*!! removed - doesn't work !! - checked for buffer overflow
* V230:  6/26/92 - commands, subcommands, and qualifiers 4-->8 characters
*         8/4/92 - bug fix:  message "yy" ,xx --> error: unpaired quotation ...
*                          - formalized handling of quotations (see comments)
* V300: 2/3/93 - check for semicolons and parens in command groups
*      4/20/93 - "go back" and start again after alias substitution
*	          allowing command groups or other aliases in an alias
*      4/21/93 - replace "$n" arguments in GO command lines
*	       - ignore semicolons inside of quotation marks
*       5/6/93 - lots of little stuff for dollar argument subst incl "reverify"
* V301:2/25/94 - bug fix: num_args wrong if "/"'s follow args inside other args
* V314:8/18/94 *kob* IBM port - MATCH4 should be defined as logical
* V400: 3/20/95 - call REPL_EXPRNS to evaluated any grave accent-enclosed
*		  expressions as a part of command parsing.
*		  Added argument "memory".
*	 6/2/95  - substitute (PLOT+) symbols prior to any other parsing
* V420:10/26/95 - Avoid paren removal when line begins with "($name)"
*		- do not allow ":" to end a word (e.g. "/xlimits=12: 16")
*		- make sure "()" is retained as a single word
*       11/3/95 - allow \ to escap !,`,/ and ;	! removed quotes *kob* 12/96
*		- improve parsing to accomodate nested [] and ()
*	4/25/96 - for IF and ELIF commands only evaluate grave accents in the
*		  up to the first command argument (others will be evaluated
*		  when the sub-clause of the IF is evaluated.
* V430: 6/11/96 - Ignore "yes?" at start of command
* Linux Port - 12/96 *kob
*	     - had to close open quotes in above comment line - linux f77
*	       was freaking out because of it...
*	     - added ifdef check for double slash because f90/linux didn't
*	       need two of them together for escapes
* v4.91 12/97 *kob* - added parameter decl. for local_max_arg_list to use as
*                     number of elements for itsa_qualifer logical array
* V500 *sh* 4/99 - Increased nsubst_passes to 100 for detecting recursion
*		- so large numbers of grave accents can be in a single line
* V530 *sh* 10/00 - modify so that symbols inside of REPEAT loops get
*	translated inside of the loop (keep copy of input in risc_buff)
*	*sh* 3/01 - added arg1_quoted to indicate if the first arg in the list
*		has enclosing quotes - and avoid calling PARSE_COMMA_LIST
* V531 *sh* 4/01 - added continuation lines
* V533 *sh* 7/01 - allow both single and double quotes
* v541 *acm* 3/02 -bug fix; nested repeat loops, parsing parentheses in the command.
*                  Make another copy of cmnd_buff AFTER removal of enclosing parens
* 2/03 *kob* - g77 port - g77 won't allow intrinsic functions in PARAMETER
*                         statements.  use an octal constant instead
* V552 *acm* 6/03  The v541 fix noted above introduced bug in symbol substitution
*                  within REPEATS: yes? def sym a 0; rep/i=1:3 (def sym a `i`; say ($a))
*                  Fix in saving cmnd_copy.  Bugs 376 and 558 fixed.
* V600 *acm* 3/06  fixing bugs 439&1390, pass cmnd_num to repl_exprns so we can decide
*                  if the command is an action command, and so whether to apply command
*                  context to grave-accent expressions.
* v603 *acm* 5/07  fix bug 919; null symbol entered as the command produced an error;
*                  the fix is to return at statement 500 if word_num = 0
* v612 *acm* 7/08  Fix bug 1583: precision of grave-accent expressions upped from 5 to 7.
* v62  *acm*11/08  Fix bug 1608: semicolon inside double quotes.
* V68  *acm* 3/12  For double-precision Ferret, let the precision of grave-accent 
*                  expressions increase to 14.
* V68  *acm* 3/12 6D Ferret (common uses nferdims in tmap_dims.parm)
* V68  *acm* 7/12 return 16 digits by default for grave-accent expressions
* V685+ *acm* 12/13  bounds checking: dont refer to parts of the string outside its bounds.
* V693 *sh* 12/14 moved arg_start/end inits into PARSE_COMMAND (housekeeping)
*	          Changes in GET_FERRET_CMND simplify this routine:
*                   1) comments are never passed into this routine
*                   2) nor "yes? " or "...? "
*                   3) continuation lines are assembled before getting here
*                 Also added support for _DQ_ style of quotation marks
*      *acm*  2/15 Prevent run-time errors in string length for _DQ_ handling
* V695 *acm*  3/15 Ticket 2245: if no arguments on a REPEAT command, exit gracefully.
* V698 *sh*  12/15 avoid the need to surround filenames with slashes in quotes
*	           Applies to SET DATA, GO, SAY, DEFINE SYM and DEFINE DATA/AGG
*		   The first non-qualifier following a qualifier terminates
*                  parsing of qualifiers, supporting
*		       DEFINE DATA/AGG name = /path/filename, 
*                  Specific hacks for SET DATA (& DEFINE SYM) and GO
* V697 12/15 *acm* Ticket 2337 Increase length of cmnd buffer to 20480.
*                  change to echo back only the first part of the command on error.
* V697  1/16 *acm* ticket 2356: Allow multiple slashes in command-line between qualifiers.
* V697  2/16 *acm* DO NOT Increase length of cmnd buffer to 20480
*                  but keep the other changes at that time, echo back only the 
*                  start of command on an error
* V697  3/16 Ticket 2376: parsing backslash escapes within repeat loops.
* V697  3/16  *acm* ticket 2356 scale back change for multiple slash at end of command
* V71  *acm* 1/17   Change to return 16 digits by default for grave-accent expressions was lost
* V73   7/17  *acm* ticket 2551 Report an error for unmatched parentheses in a REPEAT loop.

* command, subcommand and qualifiers will be identified by number in
*	 COMMON/XCOMMAND.  Arguments will be returned as positions in
*	 the command buffer
* command syntax:
*	COMMAND_NAME [/QUALx/QUALy...] [SUBCOMMAND] [ARGUMENTa ARGUMENTb ...]
*
*	qualifiers may be anywhere preceeding the first argument
*	arguments are separated by spaces or tabs unless = or comma is present
*	SUBCOMMAND is optional
*	quotes may surround any group of characters that is to be regarded as a
*	single argument
 
* note: arrays arg_start and arg_end must be large enough to accomodate the
*	sum of command, subcommand, qualifiers and args since they are used
*	for working storage

* note: quotations (8/92): quotation mark pairs will be interpreted either
*       as surrounding quotes or as embedded quotes depending on whether the
*       quote marks are both the starting and ending characters of the "word".
*       For surrounding quotes the word start/end will exclude the quotes.
