Command Line Processing

Commands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and parameters as long as they contain enough letters to differentiate them from any other currently available commands or parameters. You can use the Tab key to complete partial commands, or enter a partial command followed by the “?” character to display a list of possible matches. You can also use the following editing keystrokes for command-line processing:

	Table 4-3 Keystroke Commands
Keystroke		Function
Ctrl-A		Shifts cursor to start of command line.
Ctrl-B		Shifts cursor to the left one character.
Ctrl-C		Terminates the current task and displays the command prompt.
Ctrl-E		Shifts cursor to end of command line.
Ctrl-F		Shifts cursor to the right one character.
Ctrl-K		Deletes all characters from the cursor to the end of the line.
