The on-line help uses the acronym "SOREF" often. Where possible, I have changed this to something less cryptic (eg, "NAMEOFTABLE").

If there are two commands with the same name (eg, AMI/LIST and SOC/LIST), you cannot abbreviate to "LIST". If you always type out the full command, you will never have trouble with ambiguity.
