How do you build in the ability to run a PB application with command line parameters?
i.e...
some.exe / do something / and do this
?

Any parameters passed to your application by the command line are accessible through ProgramParameter() etc. It doesn't need to be a console application for it to read these parameters.
Have I misunderstood?

Parameter$, WorkingDirectory$, Flags, SenderProgram)

well, I created a small .exe that I want to be able to run with parameter switches to enable various options when it runs. So I need the .exe to be able to accept these parameters in the shortcut for it.
my_program.exe / parameter
@Artic Fox; yep I know about that one, but i'm not running another .exe.
