2311.0. "Notepad Files" by JUNIOR::AVERA (Jim Avera -SCA Telecom- DTN484-6023) Tue Feb 20 1990 11:03

Is there a way to specify a File name during the startup of a notepad window.
I would like to specify these files in autostart. Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Jim

	Thanks, it worked like a champ. Interestingly enough it had a hard time running when I specified run sys$system:decw$notpad [filename]. In any case it works now. Adios, Jim
2311.3	MCR and RUN are not equivalent	CLTVAX::dick	Dick Schoeller - Failed Xperiment	`Wed Feb 21 1990 10:10`	7
	MCR means run as though you are using foreign command syntax. By default the directory spec is sys$system:. RUN does not use foreign command syntax and will not allow the extra arguments to be fed to the application. The problems were not an artifact of the application but of the mechanism you were using to execute it. Dick
