The whois++ query langauge contains a number of mandatory commands which all servers should support but there are also a number of optional commands. In order that a client can find out what commands are supported by a server there is a mandatory command called "command" that should provide a list of all commands supported by the server. If you wish to use a command that is optional you may wish to use the "command" command to find out if the server supports it. This server only supports the mandatory commands.
