Yup! The /BUSY flag can be set by entering /GAG, also. Since Delphi
only needs three characters (or less) for commands, /G sets the busy flag. (/B
works just fine, too.)

Curious that Delphi would accept a 1 letter abbreviation. Note that /G is short
for /GAG which may be substituted for /BUSY.

Delphi needs only three letters or less for commands… you can use fewer
letters IF the command is unique from all others. That’s how you can “get
away with” /G and /B.
