SYNTAX
The following conventions are used to indicate command syntax:

-  Capital letters represent words that must be typed as shown. Lower-
   case letters represent names of items that may vary, such as filenames.

-  The [ and ] characters surround optional items that can be supplied
   with the command.

-  The { and } characters surround lists of items. You must supply one
   of the items with the command.

-  The | character separates items in a list. Only one of the items can
   be supplied with the command.

   For example, in the following syntax, you must type NET COMMAND and
   either SWITCH1 or SWITCH2. Supplying a name is optional.
       NET COMMAND [name] {SWITCH1 | SWITCH2}

-  The [...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item.
   Separate items with spaces.

-  The [,...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item, but
   you must separate items with commas or semicolons, not spaces.

-  When typed at the command prompt, service names of two words or
   more must be enclosed in quotation marks. For example,
   NET START "COMPUTER BROWSER" starts the computer browser service.
