- “cls” command can be used to clear the window.
- Up arrow and Down arrow navigates between the recent commands executed in the command window.
- Double-clicking on an existing executed command line brings that command into the edit box.
- Double-clicking on a command prompt opens the folder shown in Windows Explorer. Double-clicking on any other data lines will copy the line text to the clipboard.
- Help displays all the OS commands and their descriptions.

Any application can be started by specifying the command in the command window. Multiple projects and files can be opened by specifying the command line parameter using the command window.
Following are a few examples:
