*Methodology*
Command:	1.2
Alpha Alias:	Divide Line
Description:	Computes points by dividing tangent segments into equal parts
Data Format:	1.2 Set From To No-of-Segments {[From To]...};
Problem:	Given tangent segments defined by point numbers 20, 30, 40 and 50, divide both lines into equal parts. Set point number 21 at the first division point.
Solution:	1.2 21 20 30 3 50 40 ;

Data Description

Command	1.2 (or Divide Line)	Divides a tangent segment into a specified number of equal parts and computes points at each division point.
Set	21	Point number to be assigned to the first computed coordinate. Any additional points computed in this command will be numbered in an increasing order if you enter the Set point as a positive value. If you enter a negative number, additional points will be numbered in a decreasing order.
From	20	Previously computed and stored point number that defines the start of the line to be divided.
To	30	Previously computed and stored point number that defines the end of the line to be divided.
No-of-Segments	3	Specifies the number of equal segments into which all lines will be divided. Note: The number of segments will always be one greater than the number of points set.
{[From To]..}	50 40	Repeating feature of this command. You can define more tangent segments to be divided in the same number of parts as the first. Additional points computed with the repeating portion will be numbered automatically.
End Command	;	All commands end with ; (semi-colon).
