Command Names
The command name is the full word or character string you can type to tell the
PK-88 to execute this command. You can command the PK-88 by typing a minimum
abbreviation called a 'mnemonic' instead of the full word. You may always type
out the entire command word, or any abbreviation longer than the minimum
abbreviation. For example:
The command MYCALL can be entered by simply typing 'MY.' (Note: DO NOT
type the 'quotation marks' - we show these for clarity in identifying the
letters you will type.)
The abbreviation 'M' is not enough (and will be interpreted as another
command), but 'MY,' 'MYC,' 'MYCA,' 'MYCAL' or 'MYCALL' are acceptable.
If a command requires parameters, the type of parameter is indicated after the
command name as well as the default value. For example, 'n' means that the
command takes a numerical parameter value.
This is not a recognized command.
A parameter was left out.
Unacceptable numerical value.
You did not set the PK-88's clock.
