Message-ID: <9012190852.AA25958@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: 18 Dec 90 23:50:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 18 Hello: I am currently looking for a way to pass the parameters in .BAT file to a program. For example, when you executed a word processor program, usually you have to supply it with a filename to load. Now what I need is to write a .BAT file to execute a program and then supply it with the name of the file to load. E.G.: WP !to run Word Perfect !get into Thesaurus menu 3 !prompt for word . ! AND SO ON . and all those parameters will pass to program and execute it automatically - just like you enter it from the keyboard. And for those whose are experienced with VAX batch files will get the ideas of what I am talking about. **** Any info will greatly appreciated.****
