Is there any way to pass arguments to a Quick Basic 2.0 program?
I'm writing various programs in QB (for work) and I'd like
to be able to read the command line instead of having to prompt the
user for input. I have no documentation for Quick Basic, it was 
purchased a while ago and the docs are long gone.

E-mail replies preferred but any help would be appreciated.
