Commands

This section is a reference to all commands and there parameters in alphabetic order. If a command is typed the mouse-pointer must be located in the main window (Figure ). Only the echo of the input stream is visible in the parent-xterm. The keywords are not case sensitive but the names of entities are case sensitive. Each reference starts with a short description of the command. The following syntax is used for these descriptions:

     '..':   Keyword (either uppercase or lowercase)
     <..>:   Parameter (case-sensitive)
     [..]:   logical block of parameters or optional parameter
     (..):   Remark
     |   :   OR
     &   :   AND
     -   :   from-to
     ->  :   command continues in the next line
     RETURN  press the RETURN key

Entities with the exception of nodes and elements are referenced by names which can be build from letters and numbers. Usually one to four characters should be used but no more than eight are permitted. If a new entity uses an existing name the old one will be lost. To overcome the problem ``alias'' names can be used. An alias name is defined with the `!` sign in front. For example:
LINE `!`L1 `%`P1 `%`P2 `%`SET
will create a line with the alias name L1 and will use the alias names P1 and P2 to define the end-points and uses the set SET to define the point sequence between the end-points.
