>Thanks, Fred. I know about the parameter processing, however how should the command line be structured? We can't (I think!) use MYPROG.EXE WITH Parms. How will the actual command line appear? Is a specific switch needed?

Nope. Just include the data you want after your.EXE. If you need imbedded spaces in it, be sure to include it in quoatation marks. If you don't put things in quotes, they will be passed as multiple parameters.
