Description

This command is used to make informational comments regarding what you are currently doing in TermDSM. If you are keeping a hardcopy record of everything that you are typing in at your terminal, you will want to type in any information that you feel will be useful to you later.

This command may be entered at any time while you are in TermDSM.

The easiest way to keep a hardcopy record of everything you are typing at your terminal is to type in DUI's HARDCOPY command before you enter TermDSM. This command then records everything that appears on your screen. Refer to the Online Diagnostic Subsystem Manual (09740-90020) for more information on DUI and the HARDCOPY command.

Another way to do this is to connect a printer to the second port of your terminal and record each line that you type by using the LOG BOTTOM function of your terminal. Refer to your terminal reference manual for more information.

NOTE: Even though COMMENT does not appear in the prompt of the DIAG, DUMP, RESET, and STATUS commands, a comment is acceptable input in these cases as well.
