 7 Function:
 8 This macro formats arguments as members of a list of arguments (see
 9 argument_list.compin.info concerning intializing the argument list).
10 
11 
12 Macro action:
13 1) inserts argument separation white space as appropriate for the de-
14    vice
15 2) formats one or more "argument"s in 10pt Helvetica Roman (also see
16    Notes) undented (hanging) by one indentation level, each on a line
17    by itself
18 
19 
20 NOTES:
21 1) A call to this macro should be followed by text describing the argu-
22    ment.
23 2) If "argument" contains white space, it must be given as a quoted
24    string.
25 3) "argument" may contain both literal fields and variable fields.
26    These fields are distinguished in the output by presenting the vari-
27    able fields in 10pt Helvetica Bold Italc instead of Roman.  Variable
28    fields are denoted by enclosing them between tilde (~) characters.
29    For example
30 
31       file~XX~
32 
33    (as might appear for some command written in FORTRAN) will present
34    "file" in Roman and "XX" in Bold Italic.
