   This is actually rather clearly documented.  See the either page 2-53
of CBM's "AmigaDOS User's Manual" or page 85 of the 1.1 Bantam AmigaDOS
manual. (I don't know the page in the 1.2 AmigaDOS manual because someone
"borrowed" mine).

   You will find the standard CLI format/template/purpose/spec/example
documentation of the ASSEM command.  It lists the -C (or "OPT") flag
and W<size>, along with many other assembler flags and options.

   Warning though.  Don't try the -H (always-include-this-header) flag.
I understand it puts you in an endless loop.
