-
- If you want to be prompted for arguments for a given program, do the
- following:
-
- Enter the program-name as usual, in the parameters-section enter
- the prompts for the arguments enclosed in square brackets, e.g.
-
- Path and filename:
- C:\tools\zip.exe
-
- Parameters:
- -rg ìarchive name:┘ ìfile-specs:┘
-
-
- In the above example zip.exe will be started with the first argument being
- "-rg" (recurse, better compression) and OS/2 will ask you for "archive name:"
- and "file-specs:" and submit them as additional parameters to zip.exe.
