Well, I would also normally have used a main PRG - but this being a fairly simple utility (with a single form), I thought a main form would work. The workaround is not extremely complicated, but I find it somewhat clumsy to have a PRG which does absolutely nothing - except receive parameters and pass them on to the form! But that is the only way I could make it work.
