The Command Window is the means by which experienced users will enter commands rather than selecting off a menu. The fastest way to execute a function is through the Command Line or Window . Every function in the system that users can execute has a command associated with it. The commands are shown on the Menus.
To execute a function, just type its command name and hit Enter. If the function is valid and you have access rights to it, the function is started. As an alternative to hitting Enter, type the command name and click the person icon to the right of the command field.
You may not have to enter the full command name. As you type the command name, the system helps you find the function. It starts narrowing the search based on the criteria entered and it shows the matching functions in a drop down box. Use the list to help you recall the command name, click an item to choose a function or use arrow keys to select an item.
The dotted line on the left hand side of the command line area may be used to make the command line free floating in its own window. Using your mouse, click and drag the dotted line to a place where you want to put the command window. The command line disappears from the window menu bar and becomes its own window. To put it back on the window menu bar, just drag the command window back or click “X” to close the window.
The ten most recently used commands appear below the command line. Click an item to choose a function.
Do not confuse this list of most recently used commands with the one on the File Menu. This list is thrown away when you log out. The one under the File Menu is held onto.
