May be I am missing something but:
Type Ctrl+Q to insert commander in any BlackBox doc;
type your command, with some arguments, if necessary;
type space, type further arguments (to be read in form the command's procedure via In.Open, In.String....);
click on the commander -- ah, THAT's what's bothering you!
It boils down to a keyboard shortcut to run a command without mouse-clicking on the commander.
Perhaps that's a missing piece in BlackBox -- and is not hard to implement.
Otherwise I don't see any functional or typing limitations compared with working from console.
Of course there must be a proper set of commands for your application.
Actually, it's a nice little project, to create a set of commands to interpret console-like input in order to perform some standard actions (ls, cp, mv, ?).
Rex's remarks indicate that it would help planetary scientists to switch to the 21 century technologies :-)
Could also be useful in a natively run BlackBox too. Not that there are specific plans for that...
Cheers
