Where can I find a complete listing of commands with full syntex, ie;
regedit, msconfig, etc?

Let me restate, RUN is the command, is there a listing of "named" items that
can be opened here? Or how do I ID which ones will open a dialog to perform a
task?

"Run" will "run" any executable file - examples are those with suffixs such
*.cpl, *.msc, *.bat, *.exe so forth and will replace "place holders" with
applicable values( as an example %temp%).
Regarding "...Where can I find a complete listing of commands with full
syntex, ie; ...." Barnes and Noble would be a good starting point
(Tongue-in-cheek).
string varibles such as "%test%

RUN is actually not a command. It's merely a simplified and volatile way
to enter commands, essentially a one-line temporary command prompt.
If you open a command prompt, you can do exactly the same things (and more),
but with a persistent window.
Go to a command prompt, and type "run". You'll only get an error messge.
Again, the Run window isn't a command.

Do you mean a listing of command line tools?
Or how do I ID which ones will open a dialog to perform a

That would be pretty much any executable in the path, so would depend on
your system and what you have installed.
As well, file types that are associated with executables will also open
programs. For example, from the run command, "Document.doc" will open
Word, or whatever the registered word processor is. Things with extentions
..cpl and .msc will also run from the control panel or management console
interfaces.

You can get details on some of the commands listed on Eric's site by
typing the command name followed by "/?" without the quotes, e.g.
sfc /?
