hi, well i don't know what is called what i'm asking for because im not coming form informatic background so the terminology is something i'm fighting continuosly with

so here is the deal.

i would like to create some kind of interface in cmd window, something like, for example:

let say i would like to create a set of 5 commands (like print, shift calculate coordinate... something like print, while... in perl). so when i run my script something like vi editor would pop up and i could write

-- > shift "something" while "something else" print "every other character" and coordinate "character"(enter)

my question is what is something like this called and where would i find some more topics about the subject

sorry for being so unclear

as soon as i find out , i'll change the title

once more sorry , personally i also like when things are rightly structured an placed.
