is there a way to load a command as a string from a dat file?

e.g.

if a string from a dat file says "print "hello world"" get db to execute that command?

No, but you can fake it. However, it is not an automatic thing. You need to read in a string from a file and send it to a parser that you have to write. That parser breaks the text down and calls the real command. This means that your script is strictly limited to the commands that you support.

so you would have to do thing like

if command$="print word$" then print word$

but you couldn't like take the code for a full program from a txt document and run it without DB/DBP by means of a standalone exe?

No, you can't. DBC is a little closer since it is not compiled like DBP.
