<NAME> Name of Midas command (or its abbreviation)<br />
<br />
SYNTAX shows the syntax for the specified command, in the form:<br />
<br />
COMMAND <argument 1> <argument 2> . . .<br />
<br />
Unlike X-Midas, which relies on the explain file to specify the syntax,<br />
NeXtMidas uses the command dictionary entry for the command. In cases<br />
where the command takes in N+ arguments, the first N arguments are listed<br />
followed by an ellipsis "...".<br />
<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
1. Show the syntax for the EXPLAIN command.<br />
<br />
nM> SYNTAX EXPLAIN<br />
INFO: EXPLAIN;SYS <NAME> <SECTION><br />
<br />
2. Show the syntax for the PLOT command.<br />
<br />
nM> SYNTAX PLOT<br />
