  BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER        (Clipper)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Purpose : Change the name of the Clipper environment variable

  Syntax  : BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER <name>

  Example : # Change the name of CLIPPER variable to Newclip

            BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER Newclip


  This command allows the developer to change the name of the CLIPPER
  environment variable from the default setting of 'CLIPPER' to any string
  of up to 16 characters, and thus avoid the remote site settings for the
  CLIPPER environment variable.

  Used in conjunction with the BLINKER ENVIRONMENT OVERRIDE command, this
  allows the settings burnt in with the BLINKER EXECUTABLE CLIPPER command
  to be overwritten at runtime by this newly created variable.  The choice
  of a unique name avoids any conflict with previous settings for the
  CLIPPER environment variable.

  For example, if a script file contains the following commands:

  BLINKER EXECUTABLE CLIPPER F31;X100
  BLINKER ENVIRONMENT OVERRIDE
  BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER ACCSYS

  Even though the following statement may already have been set from DOS:

  SET CLIPPER=F21;

  this CLIPPER environment variable will be ignored by the application,
  and the BLINKER EXECUTABLE CLIPPER setting can be overridden by the
  following DOS command:

  SET ACCSYS=F99;
