We're hoping to develop this further and build the command system...
It looks promising. It helps to find all features with a given key word but 
there still seems to be a bit of scrolling up/down the list which would seem 
to slow down the selection of functions/features.
One program that allows selection of operations via a command line interface 
and allows setting/changing of command parameters is Rhinocerus 3d. You can 
see a video of it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJVrUqytvhA
When using the program I select a few things from the menus, often use the 
icons I have on the screen, but I use the command line to invoke some common 
operations for which I know the name. I can type "SW", then tab which uses 
completion to turn that into "Sweep" followed by either a "1" or "2" 
depending on if I want a one or two rail sweep. All options for the sweep 
command are shown with keyboard shortcuts so it is very quick/easy to select 
an operation and set its parameters.
The one difference between what you have done so far and Rhino's use of a 
command line is that Tito is useful when you don't know the name of a 
command but Rhino's use is good when you know the name of a command.
