Using the Command
Completion Feature
Command completion allows the DMM interface to accept abbreviated command
input. When using command completion, you need only enter a minimum
number of characters to distinguish the command from other acceptable choices
and press Space to complete the command. For example, if you type:
sa
Press the spacebar and the command is completed as follows:
save
If the characters entered are not sufficient to determine a unique command, the
DMM waits for more characters to be entered. For example, entering the letter s
and pressing the spacebar is not sufficient for the DMM to determine which
command to issue because commands other than SAVE start with the letter s (for
example, SET, SHOW).

(DMM) commands.
