show the command line syntax for the named command
<NAME> Name of Midas command (or its abbreviation)
SYNTAX shows the syntax for the specified command, in the form:
COMMAND <argument 1> <argument 2> . . .
Unlike X-Midas, which relies on the explain file to specify the syntax,
NeXtMidas uses the command dictionary entry for the command. In cases
where the command takes in N+ arguments, the first N arguments are listed
followed by an ellipsis "...".
Examples:
1. Show the syntax for the EXPLAIN command.
nM> SYNTAX EXPLAIN
INFO: EXPLAIN;SYS <NAME> <SECTION>
2. Show the syntax for the PLOT command.
nM> SYNTAX PLOT
INFO: PLOT;SYS <FILE> ...
Switches:
No switches.
