	Missile Command Exposition @ LaunchBase.org (Launch Base)
		Missile Command was referenced in a 1981 episode of the TV sitcom Barney Miller, which featured a young detective who was hooked on the game.
		Missile Command was an immensely popular money-maker for Atari, with many units around the world still outperforming contemporary machines' revenue as late as the mid-1990s.
		As a regional commander of three anti-missile batteries, the player must defend six cities in their zone from being destroyed.

	Command prompt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A command prompt (or just prompt) is a character or string of characters used in a command line interface to indicate that the computer is ready to accept typed input.
		Command prompts usually end with characters such as $, #, : or > and often include other information, such as the path of the current working directory.
		It is common to allow prompts to be modifiable by the user.

	Command guided - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Command guidance is a type of missile guidance in which a ground station or aircraft relay signals to a guided missile via radio (or possibly through a wire connecting the missile to the launcher) and tell the missile where to steer in order to intercept its target.
		Pure command guidance is not normally used in modern SAM systems since it is too inaccurate during the terminal phase (when the missile is about to intercept the target).
		Track-via-missile is a variation of command guidance, the main difference being that the missile itself sends target tracking information back to the guidance system to aid it in calculating the intercept.

	Destroyer Command
		From the frigid waters of the North Sea to the steamy shoals of the South Pacific, DESTROYER COMMAND puts you in charge of one of the proudest and most versatile ships which ever put to sea: the U.S. Navy destroyer.
		As you advance in rank you can take charge of a whole division or squadron of destroyers, or you can choose to finish the campaign commanding a single ship.
		During World War II U.S. Navy destroyers fought German U-boats in a grim battle for the waters of the North Atlantic.

	Command paper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Command Paper is a document issued by the British government and presented to Parliament.
		White Papers, Green Papers, treaties, reports from Royal Commissions and various government bodies can all be released as Command Papers, so-called because they are presented to parliament formally 'By Her Majesty's Command'.
		Command papers are numbered and prefixed with an abbreviation of "Command" which has changed over time to allow for new sequences, as follows:

	Command key - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Command key, known as Apple key in documentation previous to the Apple Macintosh family of computers, is a modifier key present on Apple Macintosh keyboards.
		The Command key has a single purpose: allowing the user to enter keyboard shortcut commands to GUI applications.
		The Macintosh keyboard’s other unusual modifier key, the Option key, serves as a modifier both for entering keyboard shortcuts and for typing text—it is used to enter accented characters, typographical symbols, and other nonstandard characters.

	Missile guidance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MCLOS, manually command to line of sight, the operator watches the missile flight and uses some sort of signaling system to command the missile back into the straight line between the operator and the target (the "line of sight").
		command guided, an active system in which signals are sent to the missile using radio control or some similar system.
		SACLOS, semi-automatic command to line of sight, is similar to MCLOS but some automatic system positions the missile in the line of sight while the operator simply tracks the target.

	Atari 2600 Chopper Command Page
		Chopper Command is a great example of how Activision could take a game concept and improve it.
		Chopper Command is similar in play to Atari's Defender, but I feel like I have much more control over the "chopper" in this game than of the spaceship in Defender.
		Chopper Command is relatively easy to pick up for under $5.

	RAF Bomber Command - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bomber Command came to prominence again in the 1960s, when it was at the peak of its postwar power, with the V force of Valiant, Victor and Vulcan nuclear bombers, and a supplemental force of Canberra light bombers.
		Many of Bomber Command's personnel and squadrons during the war were neither British nor part of the RAF; a large proportion came from Commonwealth countries, or occupied Europe.
		Bomber Command was also indirectly responsible, in part at least, for the switch of Luftwaffe attention away from Fighter Command itself to bombing civilian targets.

	Starfleet Command - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Starfleet Command is the operating authority for the interstellar scientific, exploratory, and defensive agency of the United Federation of Planets.
		Starfleet Command stayed in touch with its starships by means of a subspace radio communications network, but even with this faster-than-light medium, interstellar space is so vast that it was not uncommon for ships on the frontier to be out of touch.
		In the fictional world of Star Trek, Starfleet Command is the headquarters of Starfleet, the directorate of exploration and defense for the United Federation of Planets.

	Command line interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Command line interfaces require recall memory for routine functions that are repeated many times a day, instead of recognition memory, which some claim is the more natural way for humans to navigate and interact with their environment.
		A command line interface or CLI is a method of interacting with a computer by giving it lines of textual commands (that is, a sequence of characters) either from keyboard input or from a script.
		Command line interfaces are not efficient for multitasking; they do not offer the same ability to view multiple program outputs or content simultaneously.

	Command History - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Command history takes advantage of the fact the user may want to execute the same command many times, such as a developer frequently compiling and running a program, or else the new command may be a small modification of a previous one, hence necessitating little typing to modify it.
		Command history is a common feature in command line interface, such as in operating system shells: Korn shell, Bash shell, etc...
		Command history involves making previously made commands, usually up to some number of the last ones, easy to once again input to the command line.

	RAF Fighter Command - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fighter Command was one of three functional commands that dominated the public perception of the RAF for much of the mid-20th century.
		The supreme test of Fighter Command came during the summer of 1940 when the German Luftwaffe attacked the UK in the Battle of Britain.
		Fighter Command had only existed for 32 years, but in that time it had fought in the largest war in history and had progressed from biplanes to supersonic jets.

	White paper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Commonwealth of Nations, "white paper" is an informal name for a parliamentary paper; in the United Kingdom these are issued as "Command papers".
		By contrast, green papers, also known as consultation documents, which are issued much more frequently, are more open-ended and may merely propose a strategy to be implemented in the details of other legislation or set out proposals on which the Government wishes to obtain public views.
		Although a white paper may occasion consultation as to the details of new legislation, it does signify a clear intention on the part of a government to pass new law.

	Anti-tank guided missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		First-generation Command guided MCLOS missiles are guided manually, requiring input from an operator using a joystick or similar device.
		Second-generation command guided SACLOS missiles require the operator to keep the sights on the target until impact.
		Guidance commands are sent to the missile through wires or radio.

	Goto (command) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		GOTO is a command found in many programming languages which instructs the computer to jump to another point in the computer program, specified by a label or line number.
		However, others believed that even though the use of GOTO is often bad practice, there are some tasks that cannot be straightforwardly accomplished in many programming languages without the use of GOTO statements, such as breaking out of nested loops and exception handling.
		Computed GOTO is often avoided even by programmers who use GOTO, since it makes code even more difficult to read: to determine even the possible destinations of the jump requires evaluating the arithmetic expression that controls it.

	Fighter Command
		Fighter Command was established in July 1936 under the command of Sir Hugh Dowding.
		This led to the RAF reorganising itself and Fighter Command, as a specific entity within the RAF, was established with its headquarters at Bentley Priory, at Stanmore, Middlesex.
		Fighter Command was organised into a number of groups, each of which was responsible for a specific geographical area of Britain.
