I have a few programs that need command line parameters passed to them.
The documentation that comes with them (not much there) shows that a global
symbol ( :== ) should be used.  I have tried to get them to work, but 
I see no difference between typing 'RUN PROGRAM' and setting a global
symbol like 'PRG :== RUN PROGRAM 'P1 'P2' then typing 'PRG param1 param2'.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Temkin
