Dot commands are entered into the radio buffer as an alternative to the graphical user interface. They are called "dot" commands because whenever the first character in the chat buffer is a period, or dot, the following characters are interpreted as a command. You can type ".help" in the chat buffer to get a list of all dot commands.
