All commands performed through GUI interactions are executed by the internal Python interpreter. The same commands can be entered manually in the Shell View window. The Shell View window also provides standard text editing features such as copy and paste, history, and tab completing.

A detailed overview about scripting in ACP and a command reference can be found in ACP Python Scripting User Interface.
