Abbreviating commands: Abbreviated commands are identified with boldface letters. Letters not printed in boldface can be omitted. Example: “OUTPUT ON” = “OU ON”
As a rule, letters can be entered in upper or lower case.
Stringing commands together: Several commands is a single data string must be separated by semicolons (;). Example: “USET 12; ISET 8.5; OUTPUT ON”
Formats for numeric parameters:
m, n: Whole number (integer);
w: Whole number, fixed or floating decimal point number with or without exponent. Examples: “12.5”, “0012.5”, “1.25E1”, “+1.25 e+01”
