By default, the Command Manager panel is opened when OpenCities Map is started. To avoid this, edit MS_GEOXFM_LOAD_METHODS = $(MS_GEOXFM_MENUNAME)|Open to MS_GEOXFM_LOAD_METHODS = $(MS_GEOXFM_MENUNAME)|Closed
Beginning with OpenCities Map CONNECT Edition Update 16.1 the key-ins to open and close the Command Manager are:
DIALOG COMMANDMANAGER OPEN
DIALOG COMMANDMANAGER CLOSE
