Use of symbols

The levels of nesting in the syntax are separated by parentheses. When you enter the commands, enter the following symbols exactly as they appear in the list:
,
comma
-
hyphen
=
equals
.
period
:
colon
( )
parentheses
The following symbols are used to distinguish operands and command syntax. Do not enter them when you enter commands:
brackets [ ]
mean that you can select one of the operands, but they can be omitted. If the brackets are nested, the outermost operand (enclosed by one pair of brackets) is the highest level of nesting. That operand must be selected to select the next lower-level operand nested within it, and so forth.
underscore ______
denotes a default option. If you don't specify an operand, this is the operand the system selects.
vertical bar |
separates operand alternatives within brackets.
