I dug out my copy of Reflection 1 for Windows 3.1 and there was a disk with
the Command Language Reference Manual.  Unfortunately, it's in the original
Windows Help format, which is no longer supported on Windows 10 and above.
I was able to follow these instructions to get winhlp32.exe to work on
Windows 10, but it's not trivial:

https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/view-winhelp-hlp-files-windows-10-with-winhlp32-exe/

I've uploaded an image of the floppy to Archive.org here
https://archive.org/details/r1win-clm

Since mounting a floppy image on Windows can be a bit of a pain, the files
are available here, including the decompressed .hlp files
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xx5qj2jl54uqqnl/AABRbJ7Gn1yAdGKBFBdAr-cOa?dl=0

Finally, I looked through the docs to find how to turn off compression, and
the command appears to be SET COMPRESSION NONE, with the alternatives being
HUFFMAN (the default) and RUN-LENGTH.  Below is the full text of the SET
COMPRESSION help page.

The default value is HUFFMAN.

Since this talks about the FAST-FILE-XFER parameter, here's the text of
that help page as well...

The default value is YES.

> SET COMPRESSION
> SET TRANSFER-END-CHAR
> SET TRANSFER-EXTRA-CHARS
> SET TRANSFER-FRAME-SIZE
> SET TRANSFER-PRESENTATION
> SET TRANSFER-START-CHAR
> SET TRANSFER-WINDOW-SIZE
