reset

This action resets a knowledge base.

To enter the reset action:

reset knowledge-base

This action is the same as the Reset menu choice. When G2 resets a knowledge base, it:

Stops the knowledge base
Re-initializes all variables and parameters
Returns all icons to their initial positions
Restores the default colors to all items
Deletes any transient items
Removes list elements, unless the elements are permanent
Re-initializes array elements, unless the elements are permanent
Removes any relations between items, unless the relations are permanent
Reverts any modifications made using the change action that were not subsequently made permanent by the make permanent action
