Ship report window?

Try it from the main view. Select the ship (left click) from the ship list window and try the cheat. IIRC, that's where it works. Been years since I've used cheats so I can't recall exactly.

When you left-click a ship from the ship list window it just takes you to the system/sector the ship is in and from the mainview holding control and typing cheats doesn't work because it tries to do things like replay the movement log or toggle a minefield warning.
