no arguments
toggles the command line on and off for the active window.

WINDOW <"title">
specifies to display the Command dialog box. The "title" argument is optional and must be enclosed in double quotes. If you specify title, the Command dialog box appears with title as the title.

You must specify the WINDOW or BAR argument on the command before specifying the SORT argument.

MAX=max-commands
specifies the maximum number of commands to "remember" in the Command window list. Valid values are 0 through 50.

You must specify the WINDOW or BAR argument on the command before specifying the MAX argument.

AUTOCOMPLETE | NOAUTOCOMPLETE
specifies whether or not the command bar attempts to match the command being typed with commands previously typed.

CLOSE
specifies to close the command bar or the Command dialog box.


Details

You can set some of these options by using the Preferences dialog box View page. However, you can specify a title for the Command window only by using this command.
