aid. The colon is part of an MPE command.

using MPE commands from the migration aid or
from within the HP Business BASIC/XL
interpreter.
HELP or H HELP or H prints a brief summary of migration
aid commands on your screen.
EXIT or E EXIT or E leaves the migration aid and returns
you to MPE.
! (exclamation point)
The exclamation point "!" is the comment
command. Use it primarily for entering
comments in job streams. In job streams, you
must precede the "!" with a blank to prevent
MPE from changing it to a colon ":". The
migration aid places any comment lines in the
output file. Otherwise, comments are ignored.
