Examples of commands;
show customers -> customers list
search products red -> show matching products "red apple" etc
show orders -> orders list
edit customer 541 -> customer editing page with this customer loaded
print invoice 1752 -> brings up correct invoice, and print dialog.
create customer -> customer adding page
search customers onk -> shows customers who match, "wonka", "bonk", "tatonka" etc
send queued -> send ready queued emails
go admin reviews -> admin/reviews.php loads
etc etc etc
Since I have been playing with this...I have not used the normal menu of dropdowns in the admin side at all.
--Imagine being on the phone with a customer;
You: what's your order number?
Customer: 7734
You: "edit order 7734" -> return. OK I see your order...blah blah blah
This is currently being iterated and coded in the Co-op, but not everyone has joined as a member which is a pity. Therefore anyone else who has any interest/input, I'd be appreciative of any feedback, good bad or indifferent. It all helps to make it the best it can be, and moves Phoenix forward which is always the overall aim.
Just to be clear - this is being developed in the Co-op because that's where the active coding collaboration happens, but the final release will be available to the entire Phoenix community once it's stable and documented; everyone gets the finished product, just like Product Anywhere. My goal is to improve Phoenix for all users, not to gatekeep features.

Version 2 or maybe version 3 of this, assuming v1 etc is a `success` would be things like;
edit product GPF-1 --stock:+5 --price:9.99
and Grapefruit stock goes from (say) 8 to 13 and price changes to 9.99. But that is a way off and would take some hardcore logic and thinking about - it's in the future though assuming we can get v1 off the ground with your help.

Help me make v1 solid, so that v2 and v3 come sooner and with awesome capabilities. Please.
