+===== Command =====
+The Command module allows you to execute Orx functions from both the console and .ini files. Syntax for .ini files is specified in https://github.com/orx/orx/blob/master/code/bin/SettingsTemplate.ini. Console usage is discussed here: [[en:tutorials:command:commandnotes|Command Module notes]].
