Sample PDL commands
The following table lists a set of commands in the order that they
might appear in a JSL. It shows the components of PDL
commands and a variety of right part options.
The commands are displayed below in table form so you can
more easily distinguish their components. When coding a JSL,
you may want to use tabs to separate these parts. You may also
prefer to place all parameters for a command on the same line
with the command keyword.
