It depends on what you're coding with. If you're writing a Win32 program in C/C++ (and by extension, Visual Basic), the WinMain() function passes all of the arguments in a single string. One of the many stunningly boneheaded Win32 decisions, IMNSHO. > BTW, isn't the DOS syntax for command line args something like : > > myprog /arg1 /arg2 No, by convention only, the "switch" character for DOS programs is "/" instead of "-" or "--". Personally, I'm of the opinion that this switch convention, backslashes in paths, and two-byte newlines are all intentionally designed to make things LESS compatibile with other OSes, and MORE difficult to interoperate. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
