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

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