HKUS = HKEY_USERS
HKCC = HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

To set a registry value to the empty string, use "<empty>", excluding the quotes.
FUNCTION KEYS:
When entering a command the F9 and F10 keys will list possible keys in the existing command line path, forward and backward respectively.
For example, if the command line entered is
\\MACHINENAME> cd
pressing F9 will cause
\\MACHINENAME> cd HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
pressing F9 again will cause
\\MACHINENAME> cd HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
pressing F10 will cause
\\MACHINENAME> cd HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
use "*" at the end of the command line before typing F9 or F10, to begin at the key beginning with the value entered
The F3 and UP_ARROW keys will repeat the last command entered.
The F5 key will complete the command line with the absolute registry key path for Pragma Systems' Inc. product line.
