Description of Syntax
The individual commands are treated in alphabetical order in the following section. The novice would be well-served by reading the treatments of the data, model, newpar, and fit commands, in that order, then the other commands as needed. The write-up for each command includes a brief description of the purpose, an outline of the correct syntax, a more detailed discussion of the command assumptions and purpose, and a series of examples. Some commands have one or more subcommands that are similarly described following the command.
In the command description, the syntax uses the following conventions.
<arg>
an argument to the command
<arg c>::=<arg a><arg b>
defines <arg c>as <arg a>followed by <arg b>
<arg>...
a repeated string of arguments of the same type
is an optional argument
<arg a>|<arg b>
indicates a choice between an argument
of <arg a>or <arg b>
Exceptional responses to the command prompt are :
empty line or line containing only spaces and tab characters
nothing
performed, prompt repeated
/
any remaining arguments will have the values given on the last
invocation of the command
<EOF>(Ctrl-D on Unix)
same as quit
/*
skip input and return to prompt. Defaults for prompted values will be used.
?, ?command, command ?
