"Commands with parameters" like CD or SELECTFILES only works with parameters like %M from the command line, if the commands are written in UPPERCASE. Used in Buttons or em_commands these commands as case insensitive, could the same be possible when used in the command line?history.txt wrote:04.06.23 Added: The command line (above buttons F5, F6 etc.) now supports commands with parameters, e.g. cm_OpenDriveByIndex 1 or CD %T%M (32/64)
solved - no bug[TC 11.00b6] "Commands with parameters" does not work in lowercase with %-parameters in the command line

This is intentional so you can still launch programs with these names.

Is that documented? - I cannot find anything about it in neither Help nor History.

No it's not. Where would you put that in the help? User interface - Command line?

Yes, that seems a logical place, and cd is already mentioned there. Maybe this help section should also mention that you can also run cm_cammands and em_commands from the command line.Where would you put that in the help? User interface - Command line

OK, I will add something like this:
The command line also handles internal commands starting with cm_ and em_, and commands with parameters like OPENTABS. The latter must be written in capital letters.
