Quick command reference can be displayed by typing a ? followed by a letter, to display all commands starting with that letter (eg., "? a" would display commands such as AP - autophase). For many commands, typing the command followed by a ? will display help on the use of that command.

2Doverlay - for display of up to 4 contour plots, overlaid. The ability to have up to 4 files (1D or 2D) open simultaneously has other uses as well. See details for how to open multiple files, swap among them, and overlay them.
aa - displays the first of 4 simultaneously active files. This is related to the 2D Overlay function.
ai - auto integration
ap - auto-phase
asPairs - Add and subtract pairs of slices, for echo-antiecho data; see description of 2D processing
ax or axis - used to set units for the axis. The command can take 2 arguments. If the first argument is a number from 1 to 4, it is taken to indicate dimension. The second argument can be none, points, hertz or ppm. If the number is omitted, and is followed by one of these 4 keywords, dimension 1 is assumed.
bb- displays the second of 4 simultaneously active files. This is related to the 2D Overlay function.
bc - remove DC offset between real and imaginary FIDs, to eliminate center glitch

convolution -- work in progress
copy - copy the spectrum, as currently displayed, to the clipboard as a bitmap
