-//Guidewords// are parenthesized words or phrases that EXEC inserts into the command text to indicate what arguments are expected. Guidewords are only for documentation and are ignored during command processing. For example, entering "di**Esc**" at the EXEC prompt will cause EXEC to insert the following characters into the command text:+//Guidewords// (also called "noise words"are parenthesized words or phrases that EXEC inserts into the command text to describe the command or the arguments expected.

 +Use the following control keys to edit command text before pressing **Enter** (except for **Ctrl-H**).
  
 +| **Backspace** | Delete last-typed character to the left. |
 +| **Ctrl-R** | Retype current command line. |

 +| **Ctrl-W** | Erase previous word. |
 +| **Ctrl-H** | Reprint erroneous command up to error.<sup>*</sup> |
  
- +<sup>*</sup> When EXEC detects an error in an entered command, it will display a "?" and possibly an error message.  Pressing **Ctrl-H** will retype at the EXEC prompt the command text up to the location where EXEC detected the error, allowing the user to correct just the erroneous portion and reenter.

 When EXEC executes multiple command files, commands in earlier command files may be overridden by commands in later files. For example, during log-in a ''SET PROMPTS'' command in a user's LOGIN.CMD may be overridden in SYSTEM:COMAND.CMD since it is executed later in the sequence. This may be the case if EXEC seems to be ignoring commands in your LOGIN.CMD. Try moving such commands to your COMAND.CMD file, which is executed last in the log-in sequence and will override any conflicting commands in SYSTEM:COMAND.CMD. When EXEC executes multiple command files, commands in earlier command files may be overridden by commands in later files.

 +In principle, your LOGIN.CMD file should contain programs you want to run automatically when you log-in and job-wide customizations (DEFINE, SET LOCATION), while your COMAND.CMD should contain local EXEC customizations that you want applied every time EXEC starts for both LOGIN and PUSH (SET DEFAULT, SET PROGRAM, SET PROMPT
 +or PCL declarations).
