Lo these many years I was involved in a project whereby a command syntax
was documented. I remember that in the planning stage we discussed two
different alternatives for notation, one was "railroad diagramming" (I
think), the other was a hyphenated term which I have completely
forgotten.
Now I'm involved in a similar project and would like a reference to the
second notation. Wouldn't you know I'd want *that* one! I'd really
appreciate someone jogging my failing memory. If you could also mention
a resource, I'd be thrilled.
