.uh SYNOPSIS
.lp
.(l
\fBattachas\fR name
.)l
.uh DESCRIPTION
.lp
This command allows application programs to use a logical name,
.i name ,
in interactions with \*(PP.
Suppose the user of an application program specifies a
collection of rules that retrieve data and that the program fails for
some reason.
Then, under ordinary circumstances,
all the rules would need to be reentered when the program is restored.
Alternatively,
the
.b attachas
command
may be used
before defining the rules the first time.
Then, upon restoring the program,
the
.b attachas
command will reattach the user to the active rules.
.uh BUGS
.lp
This command is not implemented in Version \*(PV.
