You would place an order (issue a command) this way:
:gimme HAMANDCHEESE;bread=wholewheat,toasted;condiment=mayonnaise,&
mustard,tomato,lettuce;drink=DRPEP,large
Notice:
o It's long. We used the ampersand (&) to continue on the next line.
o You can enter the command in upper- or lowercase. MPE/iX doesn't
care. The SYNTAX DIAGRAM uses upper- and lowercase to show whether a
parameter is a variable or a keyword.
o We followed the punctuation in the diagram faithfully. (That page is
called DELI if you want to enter that + <Return> to go back and look.)
o We never mentioned CAN, PAPERCUP, etc. or SODASTRAW. What happens to
these? The owner of this odd delicatessen ALWAYS gives you your drink
in a paper cup, unless you ask for something else. And he NEVER gives
you a straw, unless you ask for one. We didn't specify these optional
choices, so we got the "default" choices handed to us. Keep that word
DEFAULT in mind. It comes up later. Please press <Return>
