While stepping through the sources, I find the files command.c and command.h. command.h defines these two functions:

void ExecuteUserCommand (char *);
void CallActionProc (char *action, char **arg, int argc);

However, neither of them is used anywhere, grep'ing for them brings up nothing but the hit in command.c/.h its self. Looking at the source, these two files apparently implement a vi-like interface:

  Message ("following commands are supported:\n"
	   "  Command()   execute an action command (too numerous to list)\n"
	   "              see the manual for the list of action commands\n"
	   "  h           display this help message\n"
	   "  l  [file]   load layout\n"
	   "  le [file]   load element to buffer\n"
	   "  m  [file]   load layout to buffer (merge)\n"
	   "  q           quits the application\n"
	   "  q!          quits without save warning\n"
	   "  rn [file]   read in a net-list file\n"
	   "  s  [file]   save layout\n"
	   "  w  [file]   save layout\n"
	   "  wq [file]   save layout and quit\n");

Anybody aware of where or how this is used? Any user of this interface? If unused I'd remove it to remove one level of obfuscation.
