You can enter many debugger commands in an abbreviated form. The debugger requires enough letters to uniquely identify the command you enter.
Many commands also have aliases. An alias is a different name that you can use instead of the listed name (see ALIAS). If you can use a short form of an alias, the underlined characters show the shortest acceptable form, for example:

short form of BREAKINSTRUCTION.
BINSTRUCTIONIs an alias of BREAKINSTRUCTION.
Is an acceptable short form of the alias for BREAKINSTRUCTION.
