+======Description:======
+The [[local]] command creates local variables (as opposed to global variables).
+A local variable can be used until the end of the //current atomic scope//.
+|<varname>|Create a local variable, initial value is the empty string.|
+|<varname1,varname2>|Declare multiple variables to be local variables|
+|<varname> <value>|Declare a local variable and give it an initial value|
+|-<varname>|Delete a local variable|
+|<structure>.|Declare all variables of the form <structure>.<var> to be local|
+|-dump|Remove all local variables in the current atomic scope|
+Local variables are created implicitly by several commands which I should
+be listing here.
+======Examples:======
+To give the local variable $blah a value of "this is a test":
+      local blah this is a test
+To give both $blah and $foo a value:
+      local blah,foo local vars are neat
+======History:======
+The [[local]] command first appeared in EPIC4pre0.009.
