<p>Entering no values with this command causes the command to operate in interactive mode.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<h2>Functional Description</h2>
<dl>
<dd>This command can display and then modify memory locations interactively.
This command can also set memory to a specified value directly. </dd>
</dl>
<p>If invoked with one or more values following the address, the command is executed
immediately, without entering the interactive mode.</p>
<p>If the command is invoked without a value, the command enters the interactive
memory mode. In interactive memory mode, the user enters a command at the cursor.
The interactive memory mode first displays the address and its current value.
Interactive memory mode then lets the user select one of the commands listed
in the following table.</p>
<p>If the -s option is specified, the <a href="mondef.htm">Monitor</a> displays
the memory contents as an ASCII string. A multiple-word string may be specified
by enclosing the multiple-word string in quotation marks.</p>
<p>Examples illustrating the use of the m command follow.</p>
