8: Device Ports

Primary Commands

These are stand-alonecommands which provide the primary functionality in a script. These commands may rely on one or more of the Secondary Commands to provide values for some parameters. The preprocessor will require that these commands appear only as the first element of a command line. The start of a command line is delimited by any of the following:

The start of a new line of text in the script

A semicolon (';')

A left brace ('{')

	where <variable> a variable reference, and <format string> is a quoted
	string. Each of the <value x> elements will be a word.
