You can abbreviate commands, continue a command beyond one line, or redirect output to a file within the control program. To abbreviate any command name, type only the first four characters. You can abbreviate a command name to fewer than four characters as long as the abbreviated name remains unique among all command names in the control program. For example, the following commands are equivalent: cdscp> show directory /.:/sales cdscp> sh dir /.:/sales To continue a long command line onto the next line, type a space and then a \ (backslash) at the end of the first line, for example: cdscp> set link /.:/sales CDS_LinkTimeout \ > (1991-12-31-12:00:00 090-00:00:00) To add a comment, use the # (number sign). Everything following the # character on a line is ignored.
