                             Command : THRESHOLD

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: threshold <ITEM> <SECTS> <THRESH>

The  threshold command is used to specify the level of a given commodity which
is to be maintained by the sector's distribution  sector.   These  levels  are
maintained by either importing or exporting commodities.  This importation and
exportation is done automatically during an update.  Both imports and  exports
from distribution sectors cost only one-half normal mobility.

In  the syntax, <SECTS> is the sector or sectors from which the deliveries are
made, <ITEM> is one of the following:

                             Command : THRESHOLD

   u    uncompensated workers
   f       food
   s       shells
   g       guns
   p       planes
   i       iron ore
   d       gold dust
   b       bars of gold
   o       oil
   l       light construction materials
   h       heavy construction materials
   r    radioactive materials

and <THRESH> is a number specifying the level of commodity which is desired.

The census and commodity reports will indicate distribution thresholds by  the
hundreds  digit  of  the  threshold  level.  In order to have a threshold take
effect, it must be at least one.

                             Command : THRESHOLD

Sectors importing or exporting items can be seen by the route command  (marked
with a $) or by the sect command.
