Configuration Command

Set the information string.

info STRING 

STRING 

A string value representing the text to be displayed as the information string. The default is "".

Description

The information string is prefixed to all informational messages--such as those generated by the display or by the widths, names, and types commands--written out by the application.

When this command is issued, the string is the rest of the command line, including white space, up to the statement terminator. This means the info string can be more than one word. To enter leading spaces or tabs, use the backslash (\) character.
