     The Options (O) command allows you to view or set the state of the
     following CodeView options:
 
     Character   Option      Display
 
     F           Flip/Swap   If on, CodeView flips the program
                             and output screens as the program
                             executes. If off, no screen flipping
                             is performed.

     The O form of the command (all options) takes no arguments; it
     displays the state of all five options. The other forms of the
     command (OF, OB, OC, OS, OL, and O3) can be used with either
 
        ■ No arguments; in this case they display the state of the
          option
       OR
        ■ The argument + or _. The + argument turns the option on;
          the - argument turns the option off.
