1. help paramete

Hi,
 1.-Thanks again to Michael Bolin for his explanations.
 .
 2.-Does somebody know how to add a parameter when launching
    an  .EXE (Euphoria) program ?
    e.g. Mygame /5 should initiate a variable
        in the pgm Mygame.exe (difficulty level 5).
    Thanks for any suggestion.

Try using command_line(), which, for a stand alone file, returns the path=

of the file for the first 2 elements, and then any parameters passes to i=
t.
 For example:

sequence cmd
cmd =3D command_line()

If you typed MyGame mygame.dat 5, cmd would look like
{"C:\MYFILES\MYGAME.EXE","C:\MYFILES\MYGAME.EXE",
"mygame.dat","5"}
Basically, if you want to find the parameter, use something like

sequence junk
integer difficulty

junk =3D value(cmd[3])  --will find first parameter and convert to number=

difficulty =3D junk[2]

I hope this helps out a little.
