Typing Path Names at Client Computers

Client computer operating systems, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, MS-DOS, and
OS/2 use back slashes to separate names in paths. For example:

net use f: \\product\data

9.2.2

Understanding Command Syntax

The commands that are used in Advanced Server will be easier to understand and use if
you keep the following concepts in mind:

When an option is enclosed in braces ( { } ), the option is a required item in the syntax
statement. For example, {yes | no} indicates that you must specify yes or no when using
the command.

When an option is enclosed in brackets ( [ ] ), it is an optional item in the syntax
statement. For example, [

password

] indicates that a password may be used with the

command, if desired.

When a vertical bar ( | ) separates items within braces or brackets, only one of the
options must be used. For example, {/hold | /release | /delete} indicates that only one
of the three options must be used.

When an ellipsis (

...

) appears in a syntax statement, it indicates that you can repeat the

previous item(s). For example, /route:

devicename

[, ...] indicates that you can specify

more than one device, putting a comma between the device names.

Be sure to type slashes ( / ), back slashes ( \ ), commas ( , ), double quotes ( " " ), equal
signs ( = ), colons ( : ), semicolons ( ; ), and asterisks ( * ) as they are shown.

Replace the pound sign ( # ) with a number.

At the UNIX system command prompt, you must type Net commands in lower-case
letters.

When you finish typing a command, press

ENTER.

If you are typing a long command

string, do not press

ENTER

when your cursor gets to the edge of your screen; the cursor

will “wrap around” and continue on the next line of your screen. Press

ENTER

only after

you finish typing the entire command string.
