Commands
Every AutoCAD command MellowCAD runs, by ribbon panel: its name, its aliases and the first thing it asks.
Each command as you type it at the command line, filed under the ribbon panel you would look for it on. The first prompt is the engine's own: the same order and the same option letters you will see when you run it.
