SetPos X Value set target's X coordinate, i.e., move the target. Use Player.SetPos Z to train acrobatics. Be careful not to move something beyond your reach..
MoveTo ObjREF move target to ObjREF. You might enlist 'frequently visited' ObjREFs for further fast-travel, or even create your own 'places' by dropping items..
SetAV AValue Amount set some ability or skill (AValue to be Marksman, LightArmor, etc.) Also not-so obvious values are: Aggression, Energy, Confidence, Responsibility..
SetAV Aggression 100 target should attack anybody it doesn't like, without prompt
SetCrimeGold 2000 set a bounty on actor's head. Use upon a character you want punished by guards. Also should be funny using it on town guards themselves.

Look ObjREF target looks towards referenced object
StopLook target stops looking (this is to cancel any previous Look cheat)
