Command Names
The command name at the beginning of the description is the full word you can type to
execute that command. You will also see the minimum abbreviation or mnemonic that you
can use instead of the full word. You can always type the entire command word, or any
abbreviation longer than the minimum abbreviation.
For example, consider the MYCALL command:
o
Enter the command MYCALL by simply typing
MY
. The abbreviation M is not suffi-
cient and will be interpreted as the MONITOR command. However,
MY
,
MYC
,
MYCA
,
MYCAL
or
MYCALL
are all acceptable.
If a command requires parameters, the type of parameter is indicated after the command
name as well as the default value. For example:
o
n
means the command takes a numerical parameter value.
