Skipping a Line after a Symbol

You can also use the comma (,) delimiter to enter all the active contracts on one future. To enter all the current contracts for a future, type the following :

<symbol>@,

where symbol is the instrument symbol, @ specifies the contract expansion, and (,) either deletes all symbols following that group of contracts (command line) or skips a line after the group (format entry).

For example, to view all the current contracts for the Deutsche Mark, you would enter

DM@,

This would fill the first cells formatted for instrument symbols with the lead month and all out month contracts for the Deutsche Mark, and either delete everything following the last contract or skip a line after the last contract.
