I am going to do some develop with dm statment, and I actually find it behaves same with command in command line, when program editor is active window. I want to confirm if dm statement in program editor take effect 100% the same with command in command line? If not, is it possible to submit command to command line from program editor?

I can see from your other question that you use a statement like

dm "help help";

Which gives a different result from typing "help help" on the command line in the program editor window.

 

I am not sure, but there is a good chance that you will get results more to your liking if you tell the DM statement what window it should execute in, e.g.

dm pgm "help help";
