Commands

The general syntax for a EXTREMA command line is:

command\qualifier...\qualifier  p1\qualifier  p2\qualifier ... 

The parameter fields in a command line are separated by commas or blanks. If a field starts with a quote, `, or an opening parenthesis, (, then commas and blanks are considered to be a part of that field, up to the end quote, ', or end parenthesis, ). Character strings are fields enclosed in quotes. For example, the command line:

 command\qualifier p1 'a, test line' p3
 

consists of four fields:

  1. command\qualifier
  2. p1
  3. a, test line
  4. p3
