Complete list of metacommands?

I am trying to get a complete list of the type 0 metacommands and this is what
I currently have, if people can let me know the ones that I am missing that
would be fantastic.

Standard LDraw metacommands
(see http://hugin.risoe.dk/JJ_Memorial/FAQ/#question-20)
  STEP - Marks the end of the building step
  WRITE - Displays a message at the top of the screen
  PRINT - same as WRITE
  CLEAR - Clears the screen
  PAUSE - Pauses until user input (but does not save file)
  SAVE - Saves a file (but does not pause the display)

Also a comment on line 0 will be used as the title for the model/part.


LDLite metacommands
(see http://www.gyugyi.com/l3g0/ldlite/index.html)
Naming things:
  COLORNAME - assign a numbered color to a name
  COLOURNAME - same as COLORNAME
  POINT - assign 3 numbers that define a point to a name
  MATRIX - assign the 9 numbers that define a translation matrix to a name

Color redefinition:
  COLOR - assign a different color to an LDraw color number
  COLOUR - same as COLOR

Nested translation commands:
These operate on blocks of statements that allow you to inline statements
rather than having to make a subpart & translate it upon inclusion or put the
translation on each point in the block
  TRANSLATE - Shift all lines in the block by the x y z provided
  ROTATE - Rotate all lines around a line through the origin and x y z
  SCALE - Scale all surrounded lines by the given factor
  TRANSFORM - Same as the translation of a type 1 but without a subfile


LDAO metacommands
(see http://home.att.net/~blisses/ldao/htmlgen.html)
  SUB - Display a subwindow to show detail on a subpart
[There are more such as the part / subpart and html but I am not sure of the
exact syntax]


MPD metacommands
  FILE - Indicates the start of another file & the end of the current file


Unrecognized metacommands are ignored so they are treated as a comment.

You may also want to include the LDS syntax. LDLite 1.8 will support an "INCLUDE" metacommand, in case you want to plan ahead. -gyug (...) (26 years ago, 27-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
