Every command and character parameter has at least
two forms, a short form and a long form. In some
cases they will be the same. The short form is
obtained using the following rules.
A) If the long form has four characters or less, the
long form and short form are the same.
B) If the long form has more than 4 characters:
(a) If the 4th character is a vowel, the short form is
the first 3 characters of the long form.
For example:
comparator abbreviated to comp
current abbreviated to curr
range abbreviated to rang
(b) If the 4th character is not a vowel, the short form
is the first 4 characters.
For example:
resistance abbreviated to res
volume abbreviated to vol
If the long form mnemonic is defined as a phrase
rather than a single word, then the long form
mnemonic is the first character of the first word(s)
followed by the entire last word. The above rules,
when the long form mnemonic is a single word, are
then applied to the resulting long form mnemonic to
obtain the short form.
For example:
PercentTolerance abbreviated to ptol
