PRESCRIBE Commands

2. PRESCRIBE Commands
In the command format descriptions below, the command is written in fixed-pitch
CAPITAL letters. Parameters are indicated in lowercase italics. Optional parameters,
which may be omitted, are enclosed in brackets [ ]. Three dots (...) mean that the
preceding parameters may be repeated. Except for the initial !R!, PRESCRIBE
commands may be written in lowercase letters if preferred.
Example:
!R! SFNT ’Helvetica’; EXIT;
Refer to Chapter 1 of the Technical Reference manual for the discussion on how
PRESCRIBE follows the rule regarding upper- and lowercase letters.
The functions of some PRESCRIBE commands are duplicated by the panel keys. For
example, the same status page can be printed by the STAT command or by pressing the
panel keys. The User’s Manual provides a full description of the control panel functions.
Many PRESCRIBE commands can be embedded commands within word processing
software. This support depends upon the emulation mode and the software. See
Emulation of the Technical Reference manual.
