 3 Function:  The sort command arranges the current file in ascending
 4 sequence by line number.  When more than one line has the same line
 5 number, the last one is retained.  Lines that are not numbered are
 6 deleted.  Text in the alter file is merged before the sort is executed.
 7 Since normal line-numbered input is automatically sorted, the sort
 8 command is applicable only to files that have been created in some
 9 other way (such as by a user program execution or with the build
10 command).
