Launch options:
* WoW Bench - starts a plain WoWBench session
* WoW Bench - starts a plain WoWBench session
* WoW Bench with AddOn - starts a WoWBench session that also loads AddOn of the currently selected project
* WoW Bench with AddOn - starts a WoWBench session that also loads the AddOn of the currently selected project
 
Other options:
* Lua prompt - loads a plain Lua command console, also modified to work like the Lua version in WoW, but with no code or bench environment
* Cmd prompt - opens a Windows 'cmd.exe' console in the AddOn Studio WoWBench directory. This allows running other WoWBench scripts, managaing files, or using other WoWBench options to start. This would be a very advanced option, and in the context of AddOn Studio, not normally necessary. But may allow to follow trying old options elsewhere in this documentation.
 
Only one console may be open at a time in the 'Lua Console'. Starting a new console session effectively ends the last one.
