    Attribute Commands

    {<label> <command>}
         Specify a hypertext link.  Not really an attribute per se, but shares a
         similar syntax and scope.  It may be specified anywhere on a line.

         The command is usualy "LINK", to specify a normal hypertext link.
         There are other commands as follows:

        b}A
              Display the hypertext node in a new window, starting at <line>.
              This no longer works in V39 and up (why not??).

        CLOSE
              Close the window, to be used with ALINK windows.  Doesn't work in
              V39 and up.

        b}
              Display the hypertext node, starting at <line>.

        RX <command>
              Execute an ARexx script.

        RXS <command>
              Execute an ARexx string file.

        SYSTEM <command>
              Execute an AmigaDOS command.

        QUIT
              Shutdown the current database.  Doesn't work in V39 and up.

         The node is the name of a node in this document, or a path to a node in
         another document.  In AmigaOS 3.0 and above, the node may be a path to
         any type of file which is recognized by the Datatypes system.
