To Enter A Command - HP MC68360 User Manual

Turns display of the command line area "on" or "off." On means that the command
line is displayed and you can use the softkey label pushbuttons, the command
return and recall pushbuttons, and the cursor pushbuttons for command line editing.
Off means the command line is not displayed and you use only the pulldown
menus and the action keys to control the interface.
The command line area begins just below the status line and continues to the
bottom of the emulator/analyzer window. The status line is not part of the
command line and continues to be displayed whether the command line is on or off.
Choosing certain pulldown menu items while the command line is off causes the
command line to be turned on. That is because the menu item chosen requires
some input at the command line that cannot be supplied another way.

To enter a command

1 Build a command using the softkey label pushbuttons by successively positioning
the mouse pointer on a pushbutton and clicking the pushbutton select mouse button
until a complete command is formed.
2 Execute the completed command by clicking the Return pushbutton (found near
the bottom of the command line in the "Command" group).
Or:
Execute the completed command using the Command Line entry area pop-up
menu: Position the mouse pointer in the command line entry area; press and hold
the select mouse button until the Command Line pop-up menu appears; then,
choose the Execute Command menu item.
You may need to combine pushbutton and keyboard entry to form a complete
command.
A complete command is a string of softkey labels and text entered with the
keyboard. You know a command is complete when Return pushbutton is not
halfbright. The interface does not check or act on a command, however, until the
command is executed. (In contrast, commands resulting from pulldown menu
