Stand-alone reports

You can use the results window API to create a stand-alone report. Stand-alone reports are regular commands that
directly use the results window API rather than the reports API. You can access a stand-alone report the same way
you access any other command, through the menus or through another command.
Stand-alone reports reside in the Dreamweaver Configuration/Commands folder. A custom command for a stand-
alone report appears on the Commands menu.
Dreamweaver creates a new Results window each time the user runs a new stand-alone report.
