exactly as shown in text and press the Return or Enter key.

 

You may also be asked to fill in values for variables. Example:

uppercase and lowercase letters. However, you can

 

abbreviate commands by entering only the uppercase letters

 

and the appropriate value. Commands are not case-sensitive.
