What is "the standard method of launching an interpreter and passing it the name of its startup file?" Is it the same standard that the Finder uses when you double click on a document (going through the message center of the toolbox?) I currently have no plans to support that from the Finder, as that would require setting up a file type/aux type, which has to be registered with Apple... etc. The best option for this situation is to use the `O' command to open (load) a saved file once Rogue is up & running. -- Scott Lindsey |"Cold and misty morning.
