Within the Integrated Environment you can't via the Args option.

But, you could alway modify your program to look for args passed or include
the < filename on the command line (ie. tc sample.c <filename).  This will
pass filename to stdin.

If you don't believe it, try the following:

1. enter this program in via your editor. (call it sample.c)

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
  char buffer[128];
  int numchars;

  while ((numchars = read(fileno(stdin), buffer, 128)) > 0)
    write(fileno(stdout), buffer, numchars);
}

2. go into TurboC with the following command line.

tc sample.c <sample.c

3. you will notice that the file sample.c is displayed on the screen and
   Turbo C is waiting for you to press any key.

NOTE:  This only works once.  You will have to exit and retype the command
       line to do it again.  This is because the redirected file is not 
       re-opened each time you run the program and TurboC didn't open it
       to start with, Command.com did.
