viii About this document
Commands
The command is represented in bold type. When commands are not
case-sensitive, they are in lowercase.
The command appears to the left of all other elements (parameters and
variables).
When truncated or abbreviated forms of a command are allowed, they
appear directly beneath the long form of the command.
Parameters
Parameters are represented in unbolded type. When parameters are not
case-sensitive, they are in lowercase.
Variables
Variables are represented in italics. Italics indicates that the variable, as
represented, is not entered, but replaced with an element, a value, range,
number, or item from a list.
The numbers, values, ranges, and lists are described in detail for each
variable in the parameters and variables description section below the
expansion.
Hierarchy
The order in which command elements are entered is represented by their
order of appearance, from left to right. When several elements appear in a
vertical list, only one of them may be selected for that position.
Defaults
A default parameter is underlined.
The action the system takes when an element in a vertical list is not required
is called a default action, and is usually an action indicated by one of the
elements that can be selected. Occasionally, the default action is something
different than one indicated. These non-selectable defaults are represented
by the word, "default," in italics, to indicate that it is never entered. The
default is then described in the parameters and variables section.
Related groups of elements
When an element is directly followed by another element, the second
element is required when the first element is selected.
To distinguish which elements relate to which, brackets surround those
elements that, as a group, pertain to other elements. Only those elements
that horizontally directly precede or follow the brackets are related to the
elements within the brackets. When elements are not in brackets, only those
elements that directly precede or follow them are related.
