     Description
 
     
-     The VAR command defines a host variable.  It
-     is equivalent to an ordinary C variable definition inside a
-     declare section.
+     The VAR command assigns a new C data type
+     to a host variable.  The host variable must be previously
+     declared in a declare section.
