The prefix
command queries or changes the current command prefix:
dico> .prefix Command prefix is . dico> .prefix @ dico> @prefix Command prefix is @
The prompt
command changes the dico
command line
prompt. For example, to change it to ‘dico$’, followed by a single
space, type:
dico> .prompt "dico$ " dico$ _
Note the use of quotes to include the space character in the argument.
The help
command displays a short command usage summary. For
convenience, a single question mark can be used instead of it:
dico> ? /WORD Match WORD. / Redisplay previous matches. NUMBER Define NUMBERth match. !NUMBER Edit NUMBERth previous command. .open [HOST [PORT]] Connect to a DICT server. .close Close the connection. …
The version
command displays the package name and version
number, and the warranty
command displays the copyright
statement.
Finally, the quit
command leaves the dico shell. Typing
end-of-file character (C-d) has the same effect.
