Command Option/Qualifiers

All command options/qualifiers can be specified with a leading "-" character, a leading "/" character, or with no special leading character. (This allows UNIX or VMS compliant command line invocation).

Those options/qualifiers that take an argument may have a trailing equals sign ("=")

Most option/qualifiers can also be specified by their first character.

So the following are equivalent to juke and show a "plain english", "standard UNIX", or "standard VMS" syntax style:

        slot 5
        -s 5
        /SLOT=5
The code is flexible however, and will also allow the following:
        sLoT=5
        -slot=5
        /SLOT 5
        /S=5
        ...
