string before processing any of the commands.

-> status
is equivalent to these series of commands:
-> info detail
-> alter, VHS-LOGGER OFF
-> info detail
-> status
-> alter, primary 1
-> status
Entering a Comment Line
You can enter a comment following the comment characters (==) at the beginning of a
line or within a line. Any text on the line following the == is not processed:
-> == This is a comment.
Also, a comment can be entered using the COMMENT command. The command
COMMENT must appear as the first characters of the line:
-> COMMENT This is a comment.
Using Keyword Abbreviations
VHSCI recognizes keyword abbreviations as long as they are unique. Keywords
include commands, object types, and attribute names. Alias names cannot be
abbreviated, and OBEY (command) files cannot contain abbreviated keywords.
These are examples of keyword abbreviations:
•
SE is a valid abbreviation for SETPROMPT.
•
VE is a valid abbreviation for VERSION.
•
I is a valid abbreviation for INFO.
Using the BREAK Key
If a command is in progress, you can press the BREAK key to cancel further execution
of that command. If no command is in progress, pressing the BREAK key returns
control to TACL. At the TACL prompt, you can type PAUSE to give the control back to
VHSCI.
