To make OpenList commands easier to construct and to read, you can include "throwaway" words in the command. These are words that do not affect execution of the command in any way, but that make the OpenList command into a more natural, English-like sentence.
The following table lists the throwaway words that are available in OpenList and examples of how they can be used.
