You're probably thinking of some other voice command system, or Dragon's built-in commands (which are bad because they have no continuous recognition, requiring constant pauses while talking). Voicecode behaves exactly as described in the article.

I just defined a command "return" in Voicecode which presses enter.

"testing return testing test test return test return test" spoken in one breath types the following:

  testing
  testing test test
  test
  test

Voicecode defines commands in Dragon by just adding words to the English vocabulary, leaving Dragon in dictation mode, and running a parser on the English output. Commands are executed anywhere they land in the phrase. The Voicecode grammar makes this somewhat less painful by using lots of non-English words for commands... but this approach is convoluted and hurts accuracy quite a bit imo.

The pausing solution is incorrect, but to say you could never use the word is also incorrect. See "keeper" such as "keeper return".
