If you see something that new CLAN can’t do the way old CLAN was able to do, then we encourage people to just type any CLAN command by itself in Commands window and press return key to get a short Usage listing of all available options for that command and their short descriptions. This is also helpful if you just want to refresh your memory of what options are available and what do they do.
