  Syntax:   THIS qualifiedtype
 
  See also: EQU, Equal Sign (=), LABEL
 
  Description:
 
     Returns an operand of <qualifiedtype> with offset and segment
     values equal to the current location-counter value. THIS can be
     used with EQU or = to create labels and variables. THIS NEAR is
     equivalent to $.
 
     These two lines are equivalent:
 
       tag1     EQU      THIS BYTE
       tag1     LABEL    BYTE
 
     The <qualifiedtype> can be any qualified type.
