     The .MODEL directive automatically generates an OPTION
     OFFSET:GROUP, SCOPED, overriding the M510 option default OPTION
     OFFSET:SEGMENT, NOSCOPED. This causes the OFFSET operator to
     return a segment-relative offset and causes labels defined with
     the label: syntax to be local.
 
     If you specify a language type, the assembler makes the procedure
     name PUBLIC, unless you explicitly declare the procedure name to
     be PRIVATE. Without a language type, procedures are always
     PRIVATE.
 
     Names declared with the PASCAL, BASIC, or FORTRAN language types
     are not mapped to uppercase.
