The Command Window is used to enter commands instead of using forms and menus. To display the Command Window, select Display > Command Window from the main menu:
Type a command in the Command Window text box and press Enter to enter the command. The scrollable list shows the previous commands entered and any resulting output. The list will maintain approximately the last 1000 lines of output. The keyboard Up and Down arrow keys can also be used to scroll through the history of entered commands.
Any line in the command window can be double-clicked to copy it as the active line.
Clicking the right mouse button in the window displays a pop-up menu:
|
Copy |
Copies highlighted text in the command window. |
|
Paste |
Pastes copied text into the command window. Macro text, which has been copied from any source, can be submitted for processing by pasting it into the Command Window. The paste option will execute each line of the copied text as a separate command as if they had been typed into the Command Window. |
|
Paste as Macro |
Paste as Macro first creates a temporary file containing the copied macro commands and executes this as a macro. For a large number of commands this gives better performance. |
|
Font Size |
Allows you to select the font size for the text in the Command Window. The choices are Large, Medium and Small. |
|
Clear |
Clears the Command Window. |
Note: Macro files can also be dragged into the command window from their location in Windows Explorer.
