has been added. The following example uses COUP to define and 
add a tape drive name $TAPE1.

The following are notes about the above example: 
• The ASSUME command sets the object type that specification 
for it for each SET command that follows is not necessary. 
• The SET commands define the attributes that are wanted in the 
PERIPHERALS paragraph of the CONFTEXT file: 
♦ Product number 
♦ Controller name
