GTBUF recognizes several magic or special characters summarized below:

In addition, GTCOM uses the = to seperate parameter, value pairs.

As a result, you should observe the following rules when entering expressions on the command line.

• An argument with imbedded spaces must be delimited by double quotes.
• An argument containing a @ or a ! must be surrounded by double quotes.
• = signs are trapped by XPI, so use .eq. in selection expressions.
• Leading spaces on the command line are not stripped off, and will usually cause errors.
