IDE - Command Window

| How can I access the "Command Window - Immediate"? It's the
version of the "Command Window" where you can just type in the
variable name and it displays the value of that variable? When I go
to
View -> Other Windows -> Command Window
it pops up a version of the command window that has a 'greater than'
symbol on the left margine and I'm not allowed to just put in the
variable names. I get "Command X not valid".
So how do I get/open the different version of the "Command Window"?
thnx,
Christoph

| Same command window, just place a ? before the variable you want to see...
Think of the ? as a Response.Write and the > as a new line. If you do ? then it
prints the results of the following value, if you don't, it will execute the
command you enter :)

Before I asked my question here, I had searched the help for command window
and it didn't seem to give me anything useful. Then, just for the hell of
it, I tried
to see if typing "help" at the '>' prompt would do anything and,
surprisingly
enough, it did. Imagine that... :p
I was able to find out from that help screen that if you type 'immed' at the
'>'
prompt, it'll take you back to the "Immediate" mode I was looking for.
Thanks for your reply, though!
Christoph
