Multiply Command
Syntax
multiply [<chunk> of] <container> by <source>
Description
There are two ways to multiply two numbers: the multiply command and the * operator.
Multiply multiplies the value in [<chunk> of] <container> by the value of <source> and puts the result into [<chunk> of] <container>.
Notes
The value previously stored in <container> must be a number; the value is then replaced with the new value.
