Thank you so much for your help....
You see I need to ask the user for a webURL and send this reply as an
argument to one of the options. Is that still possible in RB? I think it
might make it less suitable to use a .bat or .cmd file, right?

I am a total newbie so please forgive me if I am stupid..... ;o)
I have this DOS-program that I normally start from the cmd-prompt . Is
it possible to encapsulate this call and some options, inside a
RB-program so I can store it on my desktop as an icon?
Yes it is, you can use shell.
dim sh As new Shell
sh.Execute "dir /S/O:E/Q C:\ > C:\dirtest.txt"
But judging by your description it doesn't really sound like you need a
program at all.
Have you considered creating a .bat or .cmd batch file?
