tcl.itemlist*

used to indicate the choice of item-ids used within TCL2 commands. It may either be a single item-id, multiple item-ids separated by spaces, or '*' (asterisk), which indicates all items.

There is a valid 'fourth' method of 'itemlist*'. This occurs when a list is already 'active'. The 'active list' may be generated by processes such as 'select', 'sselect', 'qselect', 'get-list', 'fl' ('form list'), etc.

When a list is active, the 'itemlist*' is omitted from the (TCL2) verb:

select entity
17827971 items selected.
copy entity<cr>

If a specific list of item-ids (or '*') is provided while a list is active, the active list is ignored.

A list of TCL2 commands is provided under 'see also' below.

In Advanced Pick, if a valid TCL2 command is provided without a specific list of item-ids (or '*'), 'all' items are implied. In other words, the '*' is optional. This does NOT hold true for earlier versions of Pick. If the item-id is not specified, and no list is active, the process prompts for an item-id.
