Using Dialog Commands (cont'd)

I will use several basic commands in the Command Search option. The first one is the BEGIN command to choose the database I want to begin searching. Take a look at an example of the BEGIN command below.

Command Example When to Use It
BEGIN
B
begin 226
b 226
b 226,246
b ustmks Tip 1-1
Use BEGIN with a file number to specify the database(s) to be searched.

From the Dialog Command Search page, I type in the BEGIN command followed by the database number for File 226, TRADEMARKSCAN®—U.S. Federal, in the command text box. I click submit or press the Enter key on the keyboard to start my search.

Enter BEGIN command

The screen that appears indicates that we are searching File 226. I now enter My next command in the command text box at the bottom of the screen.

File 226 is started

Go to the next page.
