You enter NCP commands as keywords and parameters separated by spaces
 or tabs.  Use the standard continuation line convention--a hyphen as
 the last character in the line--to continue a long command to the next
 line.  If the first character of a line is an exclamation point (!),
 the line is ignored by NCP as a comment line.  Hyphens within and at
 the end of a comment line are ignored.  Lines beginning with an
 exclamation point, however, are not ignored if they follow a command
 line ending with a hyphen.

 When entering an NCP command, you can abbreviate any command verb,
 component keyword, or parameter name to its fewest unique letters.
