4.4.4 Script command conventions

To run properly, every script command described in

Appendix A

must be typed in the exact format described there. Where commands
appear in upper case, they are keywords and must be typed as
shown (although lowercase is allowed).
Numeric values used in scripting are always integers, never float
types. Hexadecimal representation of integers is allowed, and
normally indicated by the 0x prefix. There is one exception to the
rule regarding hexadecimal integers requiring the 0x prefix: when

Scripting

an address is specified in seg:off format. The segment (seg) and offset
(off) values are in hexadecimal form, for example, 1234:ABCD.
Strings are enclosed in double quotes, for example, “string”.
There is no way to include a double-quote character inside of a
string, for example, “string “another” string”.
Where a command allows a variable number of arguments, such as
the nv_write command, the variable part is enclosed in {var} braces.
In script files, the semicolon ( ; ) introduces a comment line. All text
on a line after the semicolon is ignored. A line that starts with a
semicolon is ignored completely.
Lines in script files can be up to 512 characters long, but lines entered
directly on the Script Command line may be only 71 characters long.
