List Matching Commands
When typed at the end of a possible command or abbreviation, the question
mark lists the commands that match (if any). For example:
If more than one item is shown, type more of the keyword characters to
distinguish your choice. However, if only one item is listed, the keyword or
abbreviation is valid and you can press tab or the spacebar to advance to the
next keyword.
List Next Parameter
When typed in place of a parameter, the question mark list the available
options. For example:
The <Enter> entry (“carriage return,” or the enter key) indicates that the
command can be entered without additional parameters. Any other
parameters are optional.
Command History
The system records your most recently entered commands. You can review
the history of your actions, or reissue a recent command easily, without
having to retype it.
To view items in the command history, use the <up arrow> to move back
through the list and <down arrow> key to forward. To reissue a specific
command, press <enter> when it appears. You can even use the command line
editing feature to make changes to the command prior to entering it.
