Commands
 
The word “command” means that you must 
enter the command exactly as shown and then 
press Return or Enter. Commands appear in 
bold. Example:

following command:

This guide always gives the full form of a 
command in uppercase and lowercase letters. 
However, you can abbreviate commands by 
entering the fewest letters in each command 
that identify a unique command. Commands 
are not case sensitive.

you must type something, and then press Return 
or Enter. Do not press Return or Enter when an
