The commands to change color schemes, and colors are:

The font Type, and Spacing can be configured, to show more or less lines in the disassembly window.
Command |
Effect |
FONT MODE # |
Set disassembler line spacing for the current font. |
FONT “name” |
Switch disassembler to new font. |
FONT “name” # |
Switch disassembler to new font with specified height (in pixels) |
Examples:
Input |
Effect |
FONT MODE 0 |
“Classic” Line Spacing. Shows the fewest amount of lines. |
FONT MODE 1 |
“Improved” Line Spacing. (Default) |
FONT MODE 2 |
“Minimal” Line Spacing. Shows the most amount of lines. |
FONT “Arial” |
Switch disassembler font to Arial. |
FONT “Courier New” |

You can run custom batch or script files that contain debugger commands. Scripts files do not echo their input; to print a string to the output console window, use the ECHO command. NB. When AppleWin initially starts-up, it will attempt to auto-run 'DebuggerAutoRun.txt' (searching starts in the "Current Directory"[1], otherwise in the same folder as AppleWin.exe). [1] "Current Directory" is implicitly set when inserting disk/harddisk images and ultimately by the command line switch: -current-dir <path>.
Command |
Effect |
RUN filename |
Runs the specified script filename; the filename may be quoted. |
ECHO string |
Echo the text to the debugger console. The string may optionally be quoted. |
Examples:
Input |
Effect |
RUN “Test.txt” |
Runs the script file called: “Test.txt” |
ECHO “Hello World” |
Prints the classic “Hello World” to the output console. |
