yeah, we're running short of alphabetical characters. Maybe special characters
would be better than 8-bit chars.

The man page? :)
Okay, this one was not very clear. Every command has short and long
name. For example, if you want to se the frequency, you can enter 'F' at
the rigctl prompt, but you can also do it the long way by entering
'\set_freq'. Note the backslash that prepend the long command name.
This way, you should be able to '\get_xit' or '\set_ant' even though
there's no short name.
Note: it is also possible to use rigctl in a non-interactive manner:
rigctl -m xxx -r /dev/ttyS1 set_xit 0 set_mode CW 500
