Rhino commands "minus"

hi everyone !

As i’m quite new into development and rhino, i did not understand what are the difference between these different rhino commands :

Open C:\some_path\thot.3dm
-Open C:\some_path\thot.3dm
_Open C:\some_path\thot.3dm
_-Open C:\some_path\thot.3dm

many thanks

A - “dash” in front of a command invokes the command-line version, bypassing any on-screen dialogs (making the command macro- or script-able without the user having to do on-screen picks).

An _ “underscore” tells Rhino that the next word is the English version of the command which should be used, no matter what language Rhino is running in.

You can combine both dash and underscore, and the order doesn’t matter.
