DESCRIPTION
Lets the operator set the default names used in the counter
displays, e.g. bigcounters(OPCSDEFS), show(OPCS), etc.
The 'name' parameter:
> Must not contain spaces
> Are limited to 9 characters in length
If spaces are needed, use underbars instead (_).
'name' is limited to 9 characters per channel due to the
screen constraints of 80 column displays for onscreen counters.
HISTORY
This command was added in OPCS version K2.00/TC (Turbo C).
Older versions (K1.xx) used STARTUP.DEFS which was obsoleted
in K2.00, and in many cases hard-coded names were used instead.
