Inside your application you can setup DDE communication with the Program
Manager and tell it to add an item to a group. Your program will have
to except command line parameters in order for this to work.  The Program
Manager DDE command set is documented in chapter 22 pages 19-22 of the Guide
to Programming.  Its not exactly what you asked for but is probably the
"correct" way of adding groups.
