  1. The line starts with 'gdef' or 'gadd' and is followed by an integer for the group i.d, and then part i.d. numbers separated by spaces, or for a range of parts - separated by a ':'.
  2. No options should be applied to this card, because all the words on the line are written out as integers.
  3. The input is on one line (which may result in a long line ... ). If the line is too long (currently ~1000 characters) T/HIS will truncate the command and issue an error message. The 'gadd' command is useful if the 'gdef' command is too long to create a group on a single line.

e.g. gdef 1 1 2 3 4 10:20 30:40
(group define i.d. 1) (parts 1 2 3 and 4) (parts 10 to 20 and 30 to 40)
gadd 1 5 6 7 8 50:60
(group add i.d. 1) (parts 5 6 7 and 8) (parts 50 to 60)
