     Initialize («initialize»)
          Discards all current settings, including extension settings,
          then reads the statements from the [PWB] section of
          TOOLS.INI.
 
     Arg Initialize («arg» «initialize»)
          Reads the statements from a tagged section of TOOLS.INI. The
          tag name is specified by the continuous string of nonblank
          characters starting at the cursor.
 
     Arg <textarg> Initialize («arg» <textarg> «initialize»)
          Reads the statements from the TOOLS.INI tagged section
          specified by <textarg>.
 
          The section tagged with
 
               [PWB-name]
 
          is initialized by the command
 
               Arg 'name' Initialize
 
     TIP: To reload the main section of TOOLS.INI without clearing
          other settings that you want to remain in effect, label the
          main section of TOOLS.INI with the tag:
 
               [PWB PWB-main]
 
          then use Arg 'main' Initialize to recover your main settings
          instead of using Initialize with no arguments.
 
     Returns
 
     True:  Initialized tagged section in TOOLS.INI.
     False: Did not find tagged section in TOOLS.INI.
