You would place an order (issue a command) this way: :gimme HAMANDCHEESE;bread=wholewheat,toasted;condiment=mayonnaise,& mustard,tomato,lettuce;drink=DRPEP,large Notice: o It's long. We used the ampersand (&) to continue on the next line. o You can enter the command in upper- or lowercase. MPE/iX doesn't care. The SYNTAX DIAGRAM uses upper- and lowercase to show whether a parameter is a variable or a keyword. o We followed the punctuation in the diagram faithfully. (That page is called DELI if you want to enter that +to go back and look.) o We never mentioned CAN, PAPERCUP, etc. or SODASTRAW. What happens to these? The owner of this odd delicatessen ALWAYS gives you your drink in a paper cup, unless you ask for something else. And he NEVER gives you a straw, unless you ask for one. We didn't specify these optional choices, so we got the "default" choices handed to us. Keep that word DEFAULT in mind. It comes up later. Please press Back to Main Index
