Syntax Convention Ü ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß Syntax is the order in which you must type a command and any parameters and switches that follow it. Elements in bold type must be typed exactly as they appear on the syntax line; elements in italics are placeholders representing specific information that you supply. KEYWORDS Items in capital letters are FreeDOS commands. [optional item] Items inside square brackets are optional. {choice1 | choice2} Braces and a vertical bar indicate a choice between two or more items. You must use one of the items in the statement unless the braces are enclosed in square brackets. Also note that DOS is case-insensitive...so just because something is in upper case in this help system, doesn't mean you have to type it in upper case every single time you use that command.
