It should be quoted. I'm sure you can configure InstallShield to make 
the proper file association.

"fit.exe" "%1"

Delphi interprets the quotation marks and groups the quoted portions 
into one argument.

You're also free to process the command line yourself. Look at the 
CmdLine global variable, or get it straight from the OS with the 
GetCommandLine API function.
