Basic Editing

Here are a few basic command-line editing notes:

Command-Line Editing Keys

You can use several keys to edit the command line. Table 7 on page 67 defines the
keys for editing the command line. Arrow keys functions only on ANSI-compatible
terminals, such as VT100s.

Case Keywords are not case sensitive; that is, they can be entered in uppercase,
lowercase, or a mix of both. Filenames may be case sensitive. Local filenames
are case sensitive; remote filenames are case sensitive if the host system treats
filenames as case sensitive. Passwords are case sensitive.
Abbreviating keywords You may abbreviate keywords using as few characters
as you want, as long as the characters provide a unique abbreviation.
Executing a command Always use the Enter key.
