switchxxxxxx#
help
Help may be requested at any point in a command by entering a question mark
'
?
'. If nothing matches the currently entered incomplete command, the help
list is empty. This indicates that there is no command matching the input as
it currently appears. If the request is within a command, press the Backspace
key and erase the entered characters to a point where the request results in
a match.
Help is provided when:
1. There is a valid command and a help request is made for entering a
parameter or argument (e.g. 'show ?'). All possible parameters or arguments
for the entered command are then displayed.
2. An abbreviated argument is entered and a help request is made for
arguments matching the input (e.g. 'show pr?').
