  !<cmd>             - don't stop if command returns error
  /ABJ               - abort task
  /CSAGE             - convert SAGE tasks to tasks (Win9x only)
  /CTJ [<props>]     - create trigger in task
  /DTJ [<id>]        - delete trigger <id> (default 0) from task
  /EJ [<n> [T|F]]    - edit task page <n>, persist changes T/f
  /ENC <id1> <id2>   - enumerator clone <id1> from <id2> (see SCE command)
  /ENN <id> <n>      - enumerate next <n> items (see SCE command)
  /ENR <id>          - enumerator reset (see SCE command)
  /ENS <id> <n>      - enumerator skip forward by <n> (see SCE command)
  /GC                - get credential account name
  /GM                - get target machine
  /ISJQ <file>       - test <file> to see if it is a task
  /LJ <file>         - load task object from <file>
  /PJ                - print all properties of task
  /PRJ [<n>]         - print next <n> or today's remaining run times of task
  /PSJ [<id>]        - print trigger strings of <id> or all in task
  /PTJ [<id>]        - print trigger props of <id> or all in task
  /RJ                - run task
  /SAC <file>        - scheduler activate task (load tasks\<file>)
  /SAJ <file>        - scheduler add task (save as tasks\<file>)
  /SC <acct> <pwd>   - set task credentials
  /SCE <id>          - scheduler create enumerator in slot <id>=0..9
  /SD <file>         - scheduler delete task (delete tasks\<file>)
  /SE [<n>] [P]      - scheduler enum tasks <n> at a time, [P]rint
  /SJ <props>        - set task's properties
  /SM [<machine>]    - set machine (NULL = local machine if omitted)
  /SNJ <file>        - scheduler new task (replaces in-memory task object)
  /STJ [id] props    - set properties of task trigger <id> or 0
  /SVJ [<file>]      - save task to <file>

   For detailed help use: JT /? <command-name>, e.g. JT /? LJ.
