SUBROUTINE is a macro-based command that is used to mark the beginning of
a SUBROUTINE within a macro. Optional 1-N parameters may be passed to the
SUBROUTINE. SUBROUTINES in NeXtMidas are structured just like subroutines
in FORTRAN, and are used to modularize the macro in a similar way.

SUBROUTINES have a separate results table from the rest of the macro. This
means that commands within a SUBROUTINE can only access results declared
in the SUBROUTINE, and that results declared within a SUBROUTINE are not
available outside of the SUBROUTINE.

[NOTE: results scoping in SUBROUTINES is NOT YET implemented; up to and
including 2.6.x, SUBROUTINES work the same way that PROCEDURES do.]

Switches: NONE

Examples:
startmacro
..
call testSub
..
endmacro

subroutine testSub
SAY "This is the inside of the subroutine"
return
