- CCMD (C Command Interface)
-
- CCMD is a user interface package, written at Columbia, that was included in
- MM to make it easier type commands. The two main features are command
- completion and command help.
-
- Command Completion: You can type most MM commands with only one or two
- letters. CCMD picks the only, or most likely, completion and the command
- is done as if you typed it in full. For example, at the MM> prompt, "r"
- is completed as "read", while at the Read> prompt, "r" is completed as
- "reply". To see the completion on screen, press the TAB key: type "r"
- and then the TAB key. The feature also applies to message-sequences, so
- "headers all" can be typed as just "h a", and default message-sequences
- can be previewed with TAB (for example, type the "h", SPACE and TAB keys).
-
- Command Help: At any point (except when typing your message text), the
- question-mark ? key brings up a list of possible completions. For
- example, "?" alone shows a list of all commands; "he?" shows a list of
- commands starting with "he"; and "headers ?" shows a list of all forms
- of message-sequences.
