argument.
2. Partial help is provided when an abbreviated argument is entered
and you want to know what arguments match the input
(e.g. 'show ve?'.)

mark (?) at the system prompt.
To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character string, enter
the abbreviated command entry immediately followed by a question mark (?).

To list the keywords and arguments associated with a command, enter a
question mark (?) in place of a keyword or argument on the command line. This

arguments that apply based on the command, keywords, and arguments that
