VERB

This Command specified a Verb belonging to the currently setup Verb Group.

Parameters

NAME
Verb Name. Multiple Verbs belonging to the same Verb Group must have unique names (unless their priorities are different), but the names for Verbs for different Verb Groups may clash. Up to 32 characters may be specified, of which only 8 are significant.

Qualifiers

/PRIORITY=<prior>
Specifies the Verb Priority. This should be an Integer Number. A negative priority will cause this Verb to be disabled until its priority is later raised. The default Priority is Zero. In the event of and otherwise ambiguous User Response, the Verb having the highest Priority will be matched. The Priority defaults to Zero if this Qualifier is absent or has no associated value. This Qualifier may only be attached to the Command, not the Verb Name.
/<qualifier>=<value>
Specifies a Qualifier having the given Qualifier Type directly attached to this Verb. Multiple Qualifiers may be specified, where each must be unique. A Qualifier that is only attached to the Verb is position dependent, whereas one that is attached to all Parameters of the Verb (via subsequent PARAMETER Commands), and directly to the Verb is position independent.

Valid Qualifier Types are described in the Section for the UI_DEFINE_QUALIFIER Subprogram.
