I order to get the current IP for a given domain name I would like to
enter a command from command prompt (not to use a GUI program).

How can I get the IP for a domain from command line? I am searching something like

getipfor mydyndom.dyndns.org

Is there some reason
nslookup mydyndom.dyndns.org

doesn't work for you?

If you ping the name it'll show you the IP address at the same time.
Alternatively, you can use the nslookup command.
