Banner input modes

You can configure a banner using one of the following approaches:

Input the entire banner in the same line as the command. The start and end delimiters for the
banner can be any printable character but must be the same and not included in the banner. The
input text, including the command keywords and the delimiters cannot exceed 510 characters. In
