;***********************************************
; Simple parser for command names 
;
; Input:
;  w             next character in a string
;  parse_state   current state
; Output:
;  parse_state contains current state:
;     0 - initial state
;     1...(parse_state_offset-1) - command code
;     parse_state_offset...0xFE   - next state
;     0xFF - error (not matched)
; Temporary:
;  parse_char, parse_state
; Usage:
;	1)clrf parse_state
;	2)call parse with a new character
;	3)check parse_state and perform actions
;	4)repeat from 2)
; Note:
;  1) The parser takes one character as a look-ahead.
;  When a command name matches, parse_char contains
;  the first character AFTER the name. If it should
;  be checked also, initialize and call parse once more
;  with the same character first, then others as usually.
;  2) Size of state table is approximately 4 instructions
;  per each character of the total characters number
;  (e.g. total for commands "read" and "set" is 7,
;  i.e state table is about 21 instructions)
;
