Notes:

●

Arguments highlighted in green are affected by Options.UnitOfLength.

●

Arguments highlighted in blue are affected by Options.UnitOfSpeed.

●

Optional suffixes are indicated in gray. Mandatory suffixes are bolded.

●

Syntax variations are not possible with the $-directives.

●

The statement separator is the , character.
