Command Completion

Using the command completion function makes it easier for you to enter long commands. After typing part of the command, use the completion keystroke (TABLE 2-8). This action searches the list of available commands for commands beginning with the characters you typed thus far.

■If there is only one possible command, the remainder of the characters are entered for you automatically.

■If there are several possibilities, any characters that are common to all of the possible selections are filled in.

■If there are no defined commands starting with the given characters, the characters are erased until there is a minimum of one selection for the remaining characters.

TABLE 2-8lists the keystrokes to complete a command.
