With > or without > ?

Ok. I have another dumb question:

I have read the manual and most of the time, the commands are written with a > at the end of the command. That said, it does not seem to always be the case.


Example: Here is the script at page 73:

-----------------------------------------------------
SetFocus>Notepad*
Ascii>77
Ascii>65
Ascii>82
Ascii>67
Ascii>85
Ascii>83
Press Enter
Ascii>77,65,82,67,85,83
Press Enter
Send>MARCUS
-------------------------------------------------------


Why all the commands have > except for Press enter ?

Whgat is the rule ? Can you shed some light on this?

Thanks
