executed. The Home screen is displayed temporarily during
execution, and then the Text Editor is redisplayed.

that you can continue to execute a series of commands.
Entering and Executing a Command Script
By using a command script, you can use the Text Editor to
type a series of command lines that can be executed at any
time on the Home screen. This lets you create interactive
example scripts in which you predefine a series of commands
and then execute them individually.
Inserting a
Command Mark
Note: This does not insert a
new line for the command, it
simply marks an existing
line as a command line.
Tip: You can mark a line as
a command either before or
after typing the command on
that line.
