I'm confused what you are asking for, can you clarify?

Sorry What i asked are actually a bunch of questions (clusterxxx). The commands that are highlighted are the unknowns that I dunno how to create. From the left, I dunno how to create that command with 0.5 parameter. For the division command there is a red attachments saying 16ms (73%). The right is a bunch of commands, are they data commands that are labelled? Since they are all unknowns I am not able to follow the tutorials and understand the logic. Cheers.

Right! Ok.
The .5 thingie is actually called "Point on Curve", it's under the Analysis tab. As to the red attachment, I believe that details the run time of that particular component, though for the life of me I can't find it right now. The last three "commands" you specify are actually not commands. Those are parameters. In essence, the just store data. You can find them under Params, Primitive. The user has changed the displayed names, but each will be either of type Boolean, Integer, Number, etc. hope this helps!

Correction: the Point on Curve component is under Curve tab, Analysis sub-tab.

FYI the thing I was forgetting, that's the display attachment created by the "profiler", a function of grasshopper to tell you how long a component takes to run.. Go to Display, Canvas Widgets, Profiler to turn it on/off. It only puts the little alert when the run time exceeds some value. This is set within Grasshopper Preferences (Edit menu), under Widgets.
