The Tab key
Utilize the partial online help. That is, when you enter an
incomplete keyword and the Tab key, if the entered
keyword uniquely identifies an existing keyword, the

uniquely identifies nor matches an existing keyword) the
system displays your original input on a new line without
any change.
