Interactive na sessions allow you to enter na commands with or without
arguments or parameters. If you enter the command without arguments
or parameters, na prompts for them. The conventions for an interactive
session are:

minimum number of characters that uniquely distinguish the
name from any other name that may appear in the same context.
• Type a new-line character to end a command entry. To continue
an entry onto the next line, type a backslash (\) character
immediately preceding the new-line character.
• To enter a space as an argument, enclose it in double quotes ("
"); otherwise the space is assumed to be a delimiter.

the command prompt.
Additionally, na permits comments when the # character is present at the
beginning of a comment line. All characters between the # and the next
new line are ignored. Table C-1 describes the supported arguments for na.
