It works perfectly ! In win95 you just enter "properties", and add the ? after the command line - and voila - whenever you run the program, it will prompt you for the parameters - excellent !!! Note, a shortcut will always be generated, when you make this change to the command line - but you can either click on the original com/exe file, or the shortcut - it works no matter what ! Thanks a lot Tony - From Surf Pete.
