&lt;p&gt;Good decision!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Simon Robinson&amp;quot;]So far it seems to be working ok[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s been working OK since MicroStation V8 was introduced in 2001&amp;nbsp; 8-)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;ve been using the &lt;em&gt;Command Window&lt;/em&gt;, you may be unaware of the MicroStation &lt;em&gt;Message Center&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The &lt;em&gt;Message Center&lt;/em&gt; provides more feedback than the &lt;em&gt;message&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;status&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;command&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;prompt&lt;/em&gt; fields...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Message Center&lt;/em&gt; is resizable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can see a list of messages posted in the current MicroStation session&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can copy text from the &lt;em&gt;Message Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can expand and collapse the &lt;em&gt;Message Center&lt;/em&gt; like the key-in dialog&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Annoying nag screen on exit</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/322442?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2015 09:12:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:cfd99834-21b0-46f8-b3b7-bb6b20dc6de7</guid><dc:creator>Simon Robinson</dc:creator><description>I find typing commands quicker in some cases than using the mouse, so the ability to key in commands is invaluable. In addition there are some commands (e.g. JUSTIFY LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER) that I&amp;#39;ve never found on the standard pallettes (though I&amp;#39;m willing to be corrected on this). I&amp;#39;m fully aware that I&amp;#39;m a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to user interface preferences (in any software package), though I&amp;#39;m willing to try new things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of the key-in dialog, I&amp;#39;ve never used it before as it seemed redundant to the command window. However, I&amp;#39;ve now switched to MS_USECOMMANDWINDOW=0 and using the key-in dialog instead. So far it seems to be working ok.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Annoying nag screen on exit</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/322404?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2015 01:23:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:f3c699c2-9916-4d78-8057-1aa3af63329a</guid><dc:creator>Andrew Bell</dc:creator><description>It is quite unusual that you are still using the configuration variable MS_USECOMMANDWINDOW for this very old method of displaying a command window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/askinga/w/askinga/give-microstation-an-antiqued-look"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../give-microstation-an-antiqued-look&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If it is just the old keyins that you are using from this dialog then it would probably be better to use the Key-In dialog available under the Utilities menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are there any specific tools or methods of working that you are still using from this Command Window? I would suspect that anything that you could keyin to this dialog would also be able to be performed in the Key-In dialog.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Annoying nag screen on exit</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/322234?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:08:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2537e805-fa51-4566-97a6-acab9c4241c5</guid><dc:creator>Jan Šlegr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Simon,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Simon Robinson&amp;quot;]Unfortunately it also means I don&amp;#39;t get the command window[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, it seems to be correct. I tried it and my MicroStation behaves the same way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Simon Robinson&amp;quot;]and I use that a lot[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;May I ask why? Command windows is a concept which was left I guess 20 years ago. Does it provide some feature, which is accessible using only this dialog?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, tt&amp;#39;s the side cut as it cannot be used anymore in the next version of MicroStation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I tried using a new user in the workspace, and found that I didn&amp;#39;t get the exit alert. I then went through my personal ucf file, commenting out each line at a time until I found the variable that caused the problem. The line in question is MS_USECOMMANDWINDOW = 1 - if that is removed I don&amp;#39;t get the exit alert. Unfortunately it also means I don&amp;#39;t get the command window, and I use that a lot. I suspect that the command window and exit alert are in some way inextricably linked, so it&amp;#39;s something I&amp;#39;ll have to live with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to all for you help. Debug file attached in case anyone can come up with other suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon Robinson&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If this is occurring in your current MicroStation V8i and previous versions of V8 then it would have to be a customization setting defined within your workspace when you login to MicroStation. I would suggest using the default workspace to see whether the settings is located as a configuration and as to whether this message still appears.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/MS_2D00_Default_2D00_WS.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/MS_2D00_Default_2D00_WS.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would also be helpful if you could supply a debug file for when you start up MicroStation V8i. This would show whether you have any customizations affecting this operation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/11081.how-to-quickly-generate-a-debug-file"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../11081.how-to-quickly-generate-a-debug-file&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I look forward to hearing from you soon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Later versions of MicroStation V8 onwards no longer have this message.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is the version of MicroStation you are currently using? If it is not /J or V7 then it may be as George has suggested. That you have a customized setting that has this message appearing on exit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Annoying nag screen on exit</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/322020?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Apr 2015 19:36:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e67d6f7c-3a8d-4d4b-996c-990a54e507c2</guid><dc:creator>George A.

That Nag screen pop-up must be something someone set-up for you. I don&amp;#39;t see it when I exit M-Sta. that way and don&amp;#39;t remember ever seeing it! See if you have a variable MS_EXIT defined to run something upon exiting M-Sta..&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
