22flash_param:
23
24	"kermit" script to automatically initialize the environment
25	variables on your target. This is most useful during
26	development when your environment variables are stored in an
27	embedded flash sector which is erased whenever you install a
28	new U-Boot image.

34	send_cmd U_BOOT_COMMAND
35
36	"kermit" script to send a U-Boot command and print the
37	results. When used from a shell with history (like the bash)
38	this indirectly adds kind of history to U-Boot ;-)
