I have been trying, without success, to pass a batch file command
line argument to a program that is invoked from inside the batch
file. The batch file has something like:
	.....
	programname "%1"
	.....
and is invoked as:
	batchfilename param

but programname never gets param. Would someone advise me how to do 
this correctly? 

Cheers,
-Graham
