Batch Console Commands

The syntax for Batch Console (bconsole) scripts is loosely modeled after Visual Basic. The end-of-line character acts as a statement terminator. This limits you to one statement per line. The following table lists commands in alphabetical order, followed by a list of buzz words that are allowed to improve readability.
