〔BlitzLLVM〕 This command does not exist in the original Blitz products. BlitzLLVM adds it.
Another name for Animate, with the same parameters and behavior. The original Blitz3D has no command of this name. It is the name PureBasic and FreeBasic use, and the original sample MAK-sfx uses it where Blitz3D has Animate, so it is accepted here as an alias.
