<P>
 The <CODE>SCALAR\FIT</CODE> command defines <CODE>sI</CODE> to be a scalar variable and
 allows <CODE>sI</CODE>
 to vary for a <CODE><a href="../FitCommand/fitcommand.htm">FIT</a></CODE> command or a
 <CODE><a href="../MinuitCommand/minuitcommand.htm">MINUIT</a></CODE> command. If
 <CODE>sI</CODE> already is a scalar, the value of <CODE>sI</CODE> will be
 unchanged. If <CODE>sI</CODE> is an existing variable, but not a scalar, it will be destroyed first. If
 <CODE>sI</CODE> does not exist, it will be created and initialized to <CODE>1</CODE>.</P>
<P>
 Use the <CODE>SCALAR</CODE> command with no
 qualifier to fix a scalar, that is, to not allow it to vary in a fitting procedure.</P>
<P>
 The <CODE>SCALAR</code> command allows for limits to be placed
 on a fitting parameter.  Use the <CODE>a[amin:amax]</code>
 syntax to create fit parameter <CODE>a</code> with lower limit
 <CODE>amin</code> and upper limit
 <CODE>amax</code>. To set an upper limit only, use
 <CODE>a[:amax]</code>, and to set a lower limit only, use
 <CODE>a[amin:]</code>. These limits are only used by the
 <CODE>MINUIT</code> command and are ignored by the
 <CODE>FIT</code> command.</P>
