Every command can be abbreviated. Note that, if the
abbreviation is ambiguous, TV takes the first matching alias or if
not existant the first matching command. The order of the builtin
commands is in most cases alphabetical, but not necessarily. The order
of the aliases is given by the order of their definition. To see the
order of commands and aliases in a given menu, type ?.
For example if you plot a spectrum and therefore want to change the
frame width to get inscriptions at the y-scale, you can set them to
9, 9, 3 and 3 for the left, right, top and bottom frame with the
command:
tv window setup frame width 9 9 3 3
Your minimum set of characters to abbreviate this command is:
tv w se f w 9 9 3 3
By the way these are the default frame width values for the plot
window which you can create with:
tv w c s plot
