Command Line Processing

Commands are not case sensitive. You may abbreviate commands and parameters as long as they contain enough letters to differentiate them from other currently available commands or parameters. 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 may also use the following editing keystrokes for command-line processing:

Ctrl-E	Shifts cursor to end of command line.
Ctrl-P	Shows the last command.
Ctrl-U	Deletes the entire line.
Ctrl-W	Deletes the last word typed.
