Extended Definition:

1. You may identify a model by typing its name or by picking it from the screen. If the model is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the model is displayed. You must separate multiple model names by commas. If the model is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it. You need not separate multiple model picks by commas.
2. The ‘write_to_terminal’ parameter is most likely be used in conjunction with the FILE_NAME parameter to get the information put to a file only.

Tips:

1. If the model is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
