CHANGE SEGMENT_NAMES
The 'SegName' used in all the CHANGE commands is formed by a name,
given by the calling high-level program (usually a reminder of the
command used), followed by an unique, incremental, number. To refer a
particular segment, one uses the full name (as in
CHANGE VISIBILITY CONTOUR:46 OFF). To refer to ALL the segments with the
same name, omit the number (as in CHANGE VISIBILITY CONTOUR OFF). To
refer to a range of segments, use a 'minus' sign in the range (as in
CHANGE VISIBILITY CONTOUR:32-46 OFF). Segments names can be 'wildcarded'
(an '*' can replace part of the beginning or the end of the segment
name, as in CHANGE VISIBILITY *TOUR OFF).
Trick: A reverse range of segments (as in CLEAR SEGMENT 32-12) is valid.
In the particular case of the above example, it is equivalent to the
command CHANGE VISIBILITY 32-12 CLEAR wich in turns tries to delete (as
opposed to change the visibility) the segments (which is possible if
segment 32 is the last segment plotted).
