The parameters are sent/retrieved in that order. The label is a maximum of
8 characters, and is terminated by a space character. If you want to send
a space embedded in a Label, use an underscore character ‘_’. Each
parameter is separated by a space.
Each film’s parameters are accessed by using the film’s number directly
after the Command. The parameters are edited by adding a value after the
command film number.
The parameters are inspected by issuing a command, film number, then a
question mark.
