 BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER   Change name of CA-Clipper environment variable
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Purpose  : Change the name of the CA-Clipper environment variable

 Syntax   : BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER <cname>

 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;
