What does command.dll do?

The Command Box provides a simple console, or command line, for the user to interact with LiteStep. The Command Box accepts all Windows executables (just like the Run dialog box) as well as LiteStep !Bang Commands. You can also use your Up and Down arrow keys as you do in explorer to scroll through a history of commands or just drag and drop a file into the command box to have its full path inputted.
For a far more advanced LiteStep command line, the Third Party module LSXCommand is a popular alternative.

Note: This project has been removed from futre LiteStep Releases.
