The table shows where each command can be used: in a Venapp (and the Vensim Application Runtime), a command script, a DDE request, and the Vensim DLL. Each command links to its description.
•Yes: the command works there.
•Interactive: the command is accepted but opens a dialog or needs someone at the screen, so it is rarely useful in a script, and never with SPECIAL>NOINTERACTION|1.
•-: not recorded for this column. Check the command's own topic.
•Blank: the command is not supported there.
DDE requests are handled the same way as command scripts, so those two columns agree. DDE is available only on Windows. The command script and DDE columns were checked against the program in September 2026. The Venapp and DLL columns come from earlier editions of this table, with later commands added where the program settles the question.
