FORCE is an HV specific thing. There is no concept of a FORCE command 
(or equivalent) in the X-10 spec - appliances are either told to turn 
on or off, end of story. If sending multiple "on" commands to a
given 
appliance module results in the module failing, then that is 
presumably a design fault on the part of the appliance module - 
nothing to do specifically with eitherHV or the X-10 powerline 
protocol. I'm surprised (and doubtful) this issue really exists, but 
I'm not going to sacrifice an appliance module in the interests of 
science.
