I miss the console commands ... is there a reason you removed them?  I am sure they were not used that much but I found them usefull.

They were removed very early in the FF3 design process, as was DLL creation. Like you say, they were not used much but more importantly they did not fit into the design of where I wanted FF3 to be headed to. FF3 is a GUI exe only creation tool and that is where the focus should stay. DLL development is best left to PBIDE, JellyFish, SED, etc... Likewise, console is best left to PBCC which is dedicated to that area. FF2 merely used a collection of win api based console functions and then modified the resulting exe's header to indicate that it was a console program. A little hackish.
