Peeeto, Dudymas, and myself have compiled a list of entity commands. I don't have the finalized list (Peeeto - email me it ). We are trying to get all of them identified as to what they do...any help would be welcome. I know what a fair number do...I just don't have the time to go through and do them all myself. The following is the list. Feel free to give descriptions of the commands...we need them - writing the descriptions takes the time. This is only a partial list - once I get the full one from Peeeto I'll post it. We need a description of what it does and what entity classes its used in.

then, i can format the final document by importing the database into a database editor (i use Excel), where i can sort them as desired. from there, i'll create one or more final documents in whatever format we decide on.
