ICC Help: multi

Command:	multi
Usage:	multi <command1> ; <command2> ...
Example:	"multi goto 123; Nf3"

The multi command allows you to enter more than one ICC command on a single line separated by semicolons (;). However, if the first command or commands on the line take too long to execute, the server may discard the rest of the line (unless you're an administrator). Use of multi is discouraged, for that reason, but it can be handy, especially in aliases.

If you are giving a simultaneous exhibition, a command such as "multi goto 123; Nf3" serves to make the move Nf3 in game number
123. If you're not a player in game 123, the multi stops right there, rather than trying to play Nf3 in some other game; that is a special property of the command "goto".

The word "multi" can be replaced by ; in the command. Aliases cannot be used inside multi commands. You cannot make an alias with the name "multi". Thus, you can use multi with just a single command to avoid alias substituion.
