- You can specify parameters. In the Program Settings menu, in
- the Program Tab, you type the full path of the program, and in
- the parameters section you type "[ ]". You will then be
- prompted for text everytime you start up the icon. You can
- include text between the brackets and use predefined variables.
-
- For more info on parameters, click on the help when in the
- Program Settings menu (Program Tab). When the help comes up,
- scroll down to the bottom and click on "parameters".
