    NSLOOKUP:

    o  Command line must be less than 256 characters.

    o  Interprets unrecognized commands as host names.

    o  Is partly case-sensitive. It:

       o  Accepts lowercase

       o  Accepts uppercase

       o  Does not accept mixed case

    When NSLOOKUP first starts, you see the name and address of the
    default BIND server, followed by the NSLOOKUP prompt.

    NSLOOKUP Commands lists the NSLOOKUP commands:
