In Tools->Configure External tools...->Add dialog, input these:

Title : Command Prompt
Program Filename : $Env(COMSPEC)
Parameters : '/c "start "Command Prompt" "%COMSPEC%""'

If single line contains at least one space to separate parameters then 
whole line will be enclosed with double quotes automatically, thus 
making it one parameter option. Single quotes at the beginning and the 
end will prevent this.

In Parameters text box, you can have multiple lines and those lines will 
be one parameter per line.
