58 * The command "color" is effective even in the command-line.

222 * Likewise, now the command "setup" and the script "grub-install" also

402 command-listing and filesystem syntax description for details.
404 * "install=" command vastly improved. Also moved to non-debug area.
405 Check command-listing and install documentation for details.
408 debug command "displaymem". Check command-listing for details.
411 some of the previous code, so GRUB should be re-installed!).

542 * A mini-debugger is included by default, activated by hitting '~' on
543 the command-line (it might interfere with things, but it seems OK
544 for my alpha-testing). The commands are in the function
545 "enter_sysdebug" defined in "common.c". If you have an Intel MPS-
