>>You're right, you cannot use - or / and you cannot overwrite that. Just use

miexe.exe clean

>More correctly, you can use "-" (or "/") at the beginning of an argument to an executable, but there are certain ones you have to avoid. In particular, -c will override any config.fpw file associate with the program. In your case, it assumed that you had a config file called "lean" in the fox path.

>I've written a class that handles command-line arguments in a Linux/Unix-style manner, and the only catch in using the class at this time is to not use one of the reserved letters immediately after the first "-". According to the documentation, they are -a, -c, -d, -l, -r, and -t. There are fout others that involve the slash and are full words, involving registration of .dll components.
