Commands
The command syntax is as follows:
command
keyword
keyword
[value]
keyword [value1] [value2]
The
Command
is followed by one or more keywords. Consider the following rules
and conventions:
Commands and keywords are case insensitive.
Required keyword values appear in standard font: [value]. Optional values
are shown in italics:
[value].
Underlined portions of the keyword in the command format indicate the
abbreviated form that can be used. For example the Delete keyword can be
abbreviated Del.
The command-line completion feature makes entering and repeating commands
easier.
