Options

A command option has a keyword, a description and a shortcut. The shortcut is the keyword, without its lowercase characters.

e.g. the third option of the CIRCLE command:

Keyword = TanTanRad

Description = Tangent-Tangent-Radius

Shortcut = TTR

Option	Description
0	Description only; adjust casing to mark shortcut: Select center of circle or [2 Point/3 Point/Tangent-Tangent-Radius/turn Arc into circle/Multiple circles]: This is the default prompt option format in the English version. In other versions the default prompt option format depends on local standards.
1	Show keyword only: Select center of circle or [2Point/3Point/TanTanRad/Arc/Multiple]:
2	Show description and keyword in brackets: Select center of circle or [2 Point(2Point)/3 Point(3Point)/Tangent-Tangent-Radius(TanTanRad)/Turn arc into circle(Arc)/Multiple circles(Multiple)]:
3	Show Description and shortcut in brackets: Select center of circle or [2 Point(2P)/3 Point(3P)/Tangent-Tangent-Radius(TTR)/Turn arc into circle(A)/Multiple circles(M)]:
4	Show local keyword and global keyword in brackets; this is relevant in localized versions only. Select center of circle or [2Point/3Point/TanTanRad/Arc/Multiple]:

NOTE	The PromptOptionTranslateKeywords user preference controls whether translations of command option keywords are loaded or not. If disabled, the local keyword will be a copy of the global (English) keyword. As a result global shortcuts can be used without an underscore.
