How does the system know where one command ends and another begins.

Please either leave the thread alone, or remind the OP constructively how to ask a better question.

sorry, I was just pointing out the vague question. basically treating him like a human being. Answering a question with another question to make the asker think about it school of thought to stimulate the other mind into thinking.

space would have been the answer, or end of nose aka end line, then something else appears.

Normally, the newline character, which is generated by the ENTER or RETURN key, acts as the signpost. However, the semicolon and the ampersand characters can also serve as command terminators.
