One thing I'm curious about- was Commando "pre-baked" with dialogs for all of the pre-installed utility commands, or did it pull from some kind of user-extensible database? Metadata stashed in the resource fork of the commands, maybe?

The MPW version of Commando relied on a 'cmdo' resource on the utility.

Cool! A very elegant and "Classic MacOS-ish" solution.
