		Run (and return) a command-prompt command and get the input line-by-line.
	aaa.cmdWait(command [,AppendConsole])
		Run (and return) a command-prompt command and wait for it to fully finish.

		Evaluate expression with numbers,+ # - / and *.
	aaa.log([text,delim,justify,pad,colsep])

		Get the current console text.
	aaa.save([FileName,Overwrite (flag)])
