command line (vs help file)

/VERSION displays the IDE version and exits
/HELP or /? displays a description of the command-line arguments

while absolutely true, it is useless. It flashes a console window (presumably with the information) and instantly closes. So you can't see either.

No more buglets will be reported.

This is not a bug... its the normal behaviour of every windows program ...

if you open a console and then you type in : purebasic.exe /VERSION or /HELP it will not close...
otherwise you have to read the output of the console ( e.g. ReadConsoleData() )
