name  GetProperties:, GetProcessProperties:
<<syntax>>
<<GetProperties {-d INT} {-w INT} {key}*>>
<<GetProcessProperties {-d INT} {-w INT} {key}*>>
<<If the -d switch is found, the next command line token is interpreted as the depth to which to print nested property structure.  
If the -w switch is found, the next command line token is interpreted as the width to which to print property structure such as 
arrays.  The default depth is 5 and the default wideth is 32.  Any other command line tokens are interpreted as specific keys for 
properties to be printed.  If no keys are found, the entire property list is printed.  If a key is of the form $key, then 
Atom.MakeAtom[key] is used as the key.  If the first character of a key is not '$, then it is interpreted as a rope.  
Commander.GetProperty is used for individual property lookups, so rope keys are matched on content.  (However, the use of ATOMs for 
property list keys is strongly encouraged.)>>

<<Display one or more properties from the commander or process properties lists.  Refer to CommandLine.tioga for information on the 
standard properties and their uses.>>
<<GetProperties prints properties from the commander property list, while GetProcessProperties prints properties from the process 
property list.>>
