Cual vs que vs como
I have seen all three of these words be used to represent what, seemingly interchangeably. Are there any rules about their usage, or are these three words actually interchangeable?

I suppose you mean the interrogatives, all with an accent mark?
¿Cuál es tu nombre? = What is your name? ¿Qué es un nombre? = What does un nombre mean? ¿Cómo? = What? (I didn't hear you?) ¿Cómo que no sabes? = What do you mean you don't know? None of the interrogatives above are interchangeable, if you want the translation given. I like what is said on this webpage.
