Plus, at this point, you can press the spacebar to get another page of infor-

mation, or you can press Enter to go one command at a time. You can also
press Q or any other key to quit and return to the prompt.

And here's a shortcut... To find commands that start with a certain letter,

use the letter and the question mark (?) with no space between them:

Router#c?

clear clock configure connect copy

Router#c

See that? By typing c?, we received a response listing all the commands

that start with c. Also notice that the Router# prompt that appeared with
our command is still present. This can be helpful when you have long com-
mands and need the next possible command. It would be pretty lame if you
had to retype the entire command every time you used a question mark!

To find the next command in a string, type the first command and then a

question mark:

Router#clock ?

set Set the time and date
