4-12Command Line Processing
Commands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and
parameters as long as they contain enough letter s 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:
