iro the command window - no, not like VFP. I initially thought this was going to be important to me but after 5 apps I don't mind not having one.

A common related tool to a command window however is the Trace() function which allows you to output anything to a trace window, a window which appears on the screen. This can be called from a running app and you can just issue a Trace( "some text " + my variable , another_var ) and output a running trace of lines reflecting whatever content you want to see.

So, for example, I am working on a form and want to test something that I am not sure of: I drop a button on the form, edit the click event and output what I want to see to the Trace() window. When ready I delete the button from the form.
