Command Line Interface Question

Can someone please explain what the command line interface is all about. I read about it in the Basic Stamp Manual and it seems like it might be useful when debugging a program but I can't understand how it works exactly. Any help would be appreciated.

PS: I'm not too far into programming micro-controllers so please keep the explanation to a beginner's level.

    Welcome to the forums!

    Basically what we did back in the 80's with DOS. Here is an overview:

    After re-reading the post, I'm not familiar with "Command Line Interface" in the Basic Stamp Manual.

    Could you point me to which page you saw that on? There should be no reason to drop to DOS to see a Debug output.

    As far as I know the Command Line Interface options apply only to the STAMPW.EXE and the loader to add switches and change the run behavior. In Windows this is done by right-clicking on the exe and selecting properties. You can change command line options there. It does not apply to the DEBUG interface, though on DOS you could re-direct serial port data to the CONsole.
