Sorry to dig up an old thread but, is there a place where I can get the latest Console Commands for MC 5.5 and MC 6?
Go to Console fast menu and select "Open log file". Select where you want your logfile stored. In the commandline type "help commands" and when the scrolling is over go to fast menu and select "Close log file" and bingo you have a copy of all console commands (nearly). There is a good document by Paul Samsons describing some of the most used commands . It can be found here.
