-By default, all the variables in the active dataset dictionary are saved
-to the system file, but @subcmd{DROP} or @subcmd{KEEP} can select a subset of variable
-to save. The @subcmd{RENAME} subcommand can also be used to change the names
-under which variables are saved. @subcmd{UNSELECTED} determines whether cases
-filtered out by the @cmd{FILTER} command are written to the output file.
-These subcommands have the same syntax and meaning as on the
-@cmd{SAVE} command (@pxref{SAVE}).

Each supported file type has additional subcommands, explained in
separate sections below.
