	      KEYWRD, Word and Phrase Recognition Logic Generator
	      ------  ---- --- ------ ----------- ----- ---------

	  Abstract:  The KEYWRD program produces a sequence  of  tests
	  which  can  identify  the leading word or the leading phrase
	  formed of a fixed sequence  of  words  in  a  line  of  text
	  without  ever  having  to test a character which has already
	  been identified.  Such a leading word  or  phrase  does  not
	  need  to include any characters to the right of the first of
	  the characters which uniquely identify the word  or  phrase.
	  The word or each of the words in a phrase can be abbreviated
	  by truncation, leaving at least the left character  in  each
	  word  of a phrase if additional words or their abbreviations
	  appear to the right.  Spaces are allowed between  the  words
	  in  a  phrase,  but  are not required.  A single sequence of
	  tests is used to recognize the initial portions of words and
	  phrases which start with a common series of characters, then
	  the unique portion of each word or phrase is identified by a
	  separate  sequence  of  tests.   After the unique portion of
	  each word or phrase has  been  identified  by  the  separate
	  sequence  of  tests,  then  a  single  sequence  of tests is
	  similarly used to recognize the final portions of words  and
	  phrases which end with a common series of characters.
