Launch program with switch or "command tail"

In PureBasic is it possible to capture the "command tail" parameters passed to the program upon launch?

Example:
dotthis.exe /Q or
dotthis.exe type1 type2 type3

and then parse the "command tail" to determine the proper action of
the program?

Thanks,
Terry

Terry,

Use the ProgramParameter() function to get each command line parameter, until it returns an empty string.
