Using whenever possible the graphical user interface for interacting with
my amiga, I'm missing some info to get the most of the Workbench power;
these are the complements I would need:

1) How can I pass parameter(s) to the "tool" processing a "project" icon 
   through the "info" items ?
   Ex: I never got the "say" command saying something naturally this way.

2) A closely related question; how can I execute a batch file through an
   icon ? how can make it using parameters ?
   Ex: a project icon related to a batch file with a default tool set to
       the execute command will cause a "Software task held" when run.

I'm using the ADOS 1.1, and own the version 1.0 of the RKM; I didn't found
any answer there. Any plan to publish a full WB description some days ?

Thanks for hints.

PS. "The Amiga Club" (TAC) has just been created in Geneva; we would be
    interested in exchange with other clubs, among other activities.
    Any willing contact ?
