To clarify I meant the external tools in the IDE that allow you to launch
a tool from the IDE tools menu...
i.e. not actual lazarus coding, but a tool to launch from the IDE. Most
text editors have this feature, lazarus has really good access to lots of
macros that fill in values.

For some reason cmd.exe /k doesn't launch the command line from lazarus
external tools in the menu. /k option keeps the command line window open
