Command line parameters \------ | For those who are familiar with programming, here's a handy hint: | The Bat! checks a file called TheBat.IPC which is located in the | same directory in which The Bat! executable (TheBat.exe) file is | located. Within this text file, each line represents one command | that can be executed by the program, so you can write commands to | this file directly and control The Bat! on your PC even over a local | network. Note that TheBat.IPC is deleted as soon as all commands | from it have been executed, so if this file does not exist, you will | have to create it to make use of it. `-----8<----- This all implies that you can use a series of command line parameter commands in the IPC.

No. :-/. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.0 Alpha/4 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies. iQA/AwUBPyuEoznkJKuSnc2gEQLgEACgn6B1OJQCZ+/je7+2eAjnopQUFf8AoOuC BDsbL7n3VAPUeFN7+1bOgMjx =ztx6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
