* The HOST command has been updated to use more modern syntax.
+ * The SET and SHOW commands no longer support the ENDCMD and NULLINE
+ subcommands. The defaults are now the only supported values.
+
Changes from 0.7.2 to 0.7.3:
* Charts are now produced with Cairo and Pango, instead of libplot.
When it is the last non-space character on a line, a period is not
treated as part of another token, even if it would otherwise be part
of, e.g.@:, an identifier or a floating-point number.
-
-Actually, the character that ends a command can be changed with
-@cmd{SET}'s ENDCMD subcommand (@pxref{SET}), but we do not recommend
-doing so. Throughout the remainder of this manual we will assume that
-the default setting is in effect.

@node Commands
There are multiple ways to mark the end of a command. The most common
way is to end the last line of the command with a period (@samp{.}) as
described in the previous section (@pxref{Tokens}). A blank line, or
-one that consists only of white space or comments, also ends a command
-by default, although you can use the NULLINE subcommand of @cmd{SET}
-to disable this feature (@pxref{SET}).

-(program input)
- /ENDCMD='.'
- /NULLINE=@{ON,OFF@}
-
(interaction)
/CPROMPT='cprompt_string'
/DPROMPT='dprompt_string'
The default is NATIVE.
@end table
-Program input subcommands affect the way that programs are parsed when
-they are typed interactively or run from a command file. They are
-
-@table @asis
-@item ENDCMD
-This is a single character indicating the end of a command. The default
-is @samp{.}. Don't change this.
-
-@item NULLINE
-Whether a blank line is interpreted as ending the current command. The
-default is ON.
