for many plugins there is.

well, you will have to launch VMD in text mode, i.e. vmd -dispdev text
scripted VMD plugins almost always make use of some VMD extension
to the tcl interpreter.
now, dowser is one of the (few?) plugins, where there is no direct
command line equivalent of the GUI.

the plugin _is_ the source. it is written in Tcl/Tk. there are two files
dowser.tcl and dowser_gui.tcl.
you may want to search the mailing list archive, because i remember
a similar question that was asked rather recently.
cheers,
axel.
