This section discusses all of the command-line commands available to the LINGO user. On platforms other than Windows based PC's, the user interfaces with LINGO entirely through text commands issued to LINGO's command-line colon prompt.

If you are using a Windows version of LINGO, you will primarily be interested with the previous section, Windows Commands, which details the commands available in the pull down menus of the Windows version of LINGO. However, in Windows versions, LINGO command-line commands may be entered using the command window (see the Window|Command Window command) and may also be used to build command scripts. Command scripts may be run automatically at startup or whenever the user desires. Command scripts are useful to both the Windows user and users on other platforms. Thus, the Windows user may find this section of interest, too.
