11.4 Commands

11.4.1 Guidelines

• The general form of a command is command name + parameter 1 + parameter 2 + control 1 + control 2.
• Always specify the command name first, followed by one or more parameters, and then the controls, if any.
• If you have two or more parameters, the order of these parameters among themselves does not affect the
result of the operation. For example, both of the following commands execute the same task:
o command name + parameter 1 + parameter 2
o command name + parameter 2 + parameter 1
• If you have two or more controls, the order of these controls among themselves does not affect the result of the operation.
For example, both of the following commands execute the same task:
o command name + control 1 + control 2
o command name + control 2 + control 1
• The command syntax uses the following notations:
