Initializing help system before first use

# FORCEOUTPUT

Description | Certain names in the problem object may be incompatible with different file formats (such as names containing spaces for LP files). If the optimizer might be unable to read back a problem because of non-standard names, it will first attempt to write it out using an extended naming convention. If the names would not be possible to extend so that they would be reproducible and recognizable, it will give an error message and won't create the file. If the optimizer might be unable to read back a problem because of non-standard names, it will give an error message and won't create the file. This option may be used to force output anyway.
