Just be very careful not to confuse "D" (which is the abbreviation for the PDISPLAY command) with "L" (which is the abbreviation for the PDELETE command)!

I still remember an incident from years and years ago at the shop I used to work at, where an inexperienced newbie mistakenly thought "d" meant "delete" and "l" mean "list", and ended up deleting the entire list queue when she entered the command "l lst,*"!! (Oops!!)

:)

So keep in mind:

"L" = DELETE
"D" = "DISPLAY"
