Basic CLI Operating Conventions

When the user enters commands at the CLI prompt and then press the <Enter> key, the CLI
responds with information based on the entered commands, and passes the commands on to be
executed by the software.
The user types all commands on one line and then press <Enter>. The CLI response is displayed on
the screen.
The user may abbreviate CLI commands down to the least number of leading characters that are
not ambiguous in the available vocabulary. For example, the user may enter the letters sho for the
show command.
If the CLI requires more than one screen to respond to certain commands, it displays the following
prompt at the bottom of each but the last screen:
--More--
If this prompt appears, press on the space bar to continue to the next screen.

Special Keys
