NeXtMidas User's Guide: Command Completion

Command Completion

A question mark (?) appearing at the end of a partial command line prompts NeXtMidas for command arguments. For example,

nM> status ?<CR>

gives the prompt:

FILE=

You can also use the question mark halfway through the command. If you filled in some of the arguments but forgot the rest of the syntax, type a question mark and hit ENTER. The arguments you already filled in become default values for the prompts. After each prompt, NeXtMidas displays the completed command line which you can either edit or press ENTER to execute.
