─────NAME Statement─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Syntax:  NAME [appname] [apptype] [NEWFILES]
 
     This statement identifies the executable file as an application.
     It can also specify the name and type. NAME or LIBRARY must
     precede all other statements. If NAME is specified, the LIBRARY
     statement cannot be used. If neither is used, the default is NAME.
     Fields can appear in any order.
 
     If <appname> is specified, it becomes the name of the application
     as it is known by OS/2 or Windows. This name can be any valid
     filename. If <appname> contains a space, begins with a
     nonalphabetic character, or is a reserved word, enclose <appname>
     in double quotation marks. The name cannot exceed 255 characters
     (not including surrounding quotation marks). The default is the
     base name of the executable file.

     If <apptype> is specified, it defines the type of application:
