I wish to perform functions according to commands parsed into a string array.
The CASE operator only works for simple variable types. Is there an elegant way
to perform the CASE for complex (string) variables? Desired sample construct:

case Command of
  '1STCOM' : FirstCommand;
  '2NDCOM' : SecondCommand;
   .
   .
end;
