Following the command with a letter will limit the output; &#8220;cvarlist a&#8221; will output a list of only commands that start with the letter A.<\/li>\n<li>disconnect &#8211; Disconnects from the multiplayer server and returns you to the main menu.<\/li>\n<li>exec &#8211; Executes a config, e.g. &#8220;exec myconfig.cfg&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>exit &#8211; Exits to desktop.<\/li>\n<li>find &#8211; One of the most useful commands, finds concommands with the specified string in their name or help text. Typing &#8220;find&#8221; followed by any partial or full command will give you all of the commands that have those letters in the command or definition.<\/li>\n<li>help &#8211; Outputs help info about a convar\/concommand. It is similar to the find command but you have follow it with the exact command. You will be given the command definition as a return.<\/li>\n<li>key_findbinding &#8211; \tFinds key bound to specified command string. Follow this with any command or alias and it will tell you if there are keys bound to it.<\/li>\n<li>key_listboundkeys &#8211; Lists bound keys with bindings.<\/li>\n<li>kill- Kills yourself.<\/li>\n<li>net_graph &#8211; Draws the network usage graph.

You would open the console and type &#8220;clear&#8221; to get rid of the old information, then type &#8220;status&#8221; to output his Steam ID.
