                             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

   c       civilians
   m       military
   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

                             Command : THRESHOLD

effect, it must be at least one.

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

Also, note that no distribution center will ship out its last civilian.
