or entering a command.  When you do so, the terminal is in one of three
modes:  Command, Visual, or Menu.

Command Mode 

Purpose                   Command mode is the data entry mode which
                          immediately follows the logon and is indicated
                          by the >> prompt.

                          TOOLSET/XL. You can re-enter it from Visual
                          Mode by pressing the Cmd Mode, End Edit, End
                          Read, or End List function key.  From Menu
                          mode, you can re-enter command mode by pressing
                          the End Menu or Set OK key.

                          EDIT. To read a file in Visual mode, press the
                          Read or Listing key or type the corresponding
                          command.

                          as defaults and previously defined options.
                          They also allow you to define and change
                          options.

There are three basic levels of explanation within the Help Facility:

MPE XL Commands 

Any MPE XL command that can be programmatically accessed can be executed
without exiting TOOLSET/XL by typing a colon (:)  before the command.
Most commands which are preceded by a colon are passed to MPE XL for
execution.

Consult the MPE XL Command Reference Manual (32650-90003) for the correct
syntax of the above commands.
