OK, found this.

It would be good if the Command Console section had every command and 
its syntax listed, with a  brief explanation of it use.

Yeah I have seen this, not much use.

An tutorial needs to be developed that demonstrates practical 
application in real time of this scripting language.

provided to show how someone can do this.
