You can also use command stacking to proceed one or more levels in the menu 
system, and go directly to another submenu and one of the related menu options in 
that submenu. 

For example, to proceed two levels (from the NTP Servers menu to the System 
menu) and then go to the DNS settings menu to access the DNS servers menu, use 
the following command:

>> NTP Servers# ../../dns/servers

You can abbreviate most commands.

To abbreviate a command, type the first characters which distinguish the 
command from the others in the same menu or submenu.

>> Main# cfg/sys/time/ntp/list

to 

>> Main# c/sy/t/n/l

only one command matches the character you typed, that command 
displays on the command line when you press Tab. Press ENTER to 
execute the command.
