Completing a partial command name

If you cannot remember a command name (or if you want to reduce the amount of typing you have
to perform) enter the first few letters of a command, then press the Tab key. The command line
parser completes the command if the string entered is unique to the command mode. If your
keyboard does not have a Tab key, press Ctrl-I.
