This chapter describes each IDF command, except for EXTRACT, which is used only in macros. The EXTRACT command is described in The EXTRACT command.

IDF commands perform the same functions regardless of whether they are invoked through a PF key, the command line (when a PF key set to COMMAND is pressed), or a macro.

If you have not read Arguments and cursor positioning, please do so before you continue. Many of the following command descriptions assume you understand how IDF obtains an address from the cursor position.

The documentation of each command describes a way in which the command will work. The IDF command processor is powerful and flexible, and it is possible that there are alternative undocumented variations to these commands that will also work.
