        !            22: .I Arff
        !            23: saves and restores files
        !            24: on VAX console media (the console floppy on the VAX 11/780 and 785,
        !            25: the cassette on the 11/730, and the console RL02 on the 8600/8650).
        !            26: Its actions are controlled by the
        !            27: .I key
        !            28: argument.
        !            29: The
        !            30: .I key
        !            31: is a string of characters containing
        !            32: at most one function letter and possibly
        !            33: one or more function modifiers.
        !            34: Other arguments to the command are file
        !            35: names specifying which files are to be dumped or restored.
        !            36: The default options are correct for the RX01 floppy on the 780;
        !            37: for other console media, the

        !            45: 0-3 alphanumerics.  Case distinctions are lost.  Only the trailing component
