CCMD (C Command Interface)
CCMD is a user interface package, written at Columbia, that was included in
MM to make it easier type commands. The two main features are command
completion and command help.
Command Completion: You can type most MM commands with only one or two
letters. CCMD picks the only, or most likely, completion and the command
is done as if you typed it in full. For example, at the MM> prompt, "r"
is completed as "read", while at the Read> prompt, "r" is completed as
"reply". To see the completion on screen, press the TAB key: type "r"
and then the TAB key. The feature also applies to message-sequences, so
"headers all" can be typed as just "h a", and default message-sequences
can be previewed with TAB (for example, type the "h", SPACE and TAB keys).
Command Help: At any point (except when typing your message text), the
question-mark ? key brings up a list of possible completions. For
example, "?" alone shows a list of all commands; "he?" shows a list of
commands starting with "he"; and "headers ?" shows a list of all forms
of message-sequences.
