Changing specific variable names


 Changes made in the <.EXE name>.VAR file will affect the
 variable names that Rescue5 writes into the source code on the
 second pass.

 The <.EXE name>.VAR file has two sections:

   The first section is a list of the locally scoped variables
   for each procedure.  Local variables are identified by the
   mnemonic "Ln" after the '#', local parameters by "Pn" and
   code-block parameters by "BLn".

   The second section is a list of static variables by the
   module they are declared in.  The module is identified by the
   cross-reference index into Section 2 in the <.EXE name>.GRP
   file.

 To change a variable name over-type the suggested name to the
 left of the '#'.  Be sure to follow CA-Clipper naming
 conventions and to avoid duplicate variable names.  Rescue5
 allows variable names of up to 32 characters, but only the
 first 10 characters of the name are significant to CA- Clipper.

 Rescue5 will apply variable names in the order in which it
 finds them in the <.EXE name>.VAR file.  The first name is
 applied to the first variable, the second name to the second
 variable and so on.  It is therefore very important that the
 order in <.EXE name>.VAR is maintained.

 Variables cannot be removed or created through the <.EXE
 name>.VAR file.
