Country
To use the menu, a country must be selected, and the default is united_states. To select a different one, type country, followed by the spacebar. This will bring up a list that can be picked from using the up/down arrow keys.
Refresh the screen, by typing ?, to verify the choice has been made.
Search
The most effective way to sift through a vast quantity of funds is to use the search function broadly, then narrow the focus using the built-in filters on the displayed table. In the example below, there are 668 results returned for RBC and Canada. Filtering for money market funds gets it down to only ten funds.
/funds/country canada/search rbc --limit 1000
Load
A mutual fund is loaded by using the ID number, which is the column labeled, SECID, on the left side of the table.
load F0CAN05LTL

Holdings
With a fund loaded, get the weighting of the portfolio using the holdings command.
The holdings data returned will vary by country. Some will only return the top ten, while others will publish the entire portfolio.
