I guess you know that you can specify the config.fpw file, by the -C switch? And the configuration file doesn't have to be called config.fpw, you can call it whatever you want. "C:\Omnia\OIS4\Rick\MyProg.exe -cRick.26" will run C:\Omnia\OIS4\Rick\MyProg.exe which will use the file Rick.26 asin stead of config.fpw.

>If I have to I will but I'd prefer to not use it. I have 2 programs that use config.fpw, and the content of the config.fpw is different. I'm not sure if I can merge them into one config.fpw. I need to start both programs from the same starting place, and I need them to point to the same temp directory.
