Using the Command Line with the Keyboard
When using the command line with the keyboard, you enter commands by pressing
softkeys whose labels appear at the bottom of the screen. Softkeys provide for
quick command entry, and minimize the possibility of errors.
The command line also provides command completion. You can type the first few
characters of a command (enough to uniquely identify the command) and then
press <Tab>. The interface completes the command word for you.
Entering commands with the keyboard is easy. However, the interface provides
other features that make entering commands even easier. For example, you can:
•
•
•
•
To enter multiple commands on one command
line
• Separate the commands with semicolons (;).
More than one command may be entered in a single command line if the commands
are separated by semicolons (;).
Examples
To reset the emulator and break into the monitor:
reset ; break <RETURN>
Enter multiple commands on one line.
Recall commands.
Edit commands.
