Hi,=0D
 =0D
Jeff, thank you for your code. It guided me to start.f where there are th=
e
words cmdline, argc, argv and others.=0D
 =0D
I found that on startup SwiftForth interprets the command line which wind=
ows
passes to it. It means to me that forth will take the first argument and =
try
to execute it. Then, I wrote a word go which should take the command line
and show the arguments:=0D
 =0D
: go ( -- )=0D
cmdline argc 0 ?do=0D
cmdline i argv type cr=0D
loop=0D
\ bye=0D
;=0D
 =0D
PROGRAM cmdline.exe=0D
 =0D
If it works it means that I can work with the command line, which is what=
 I
want. =0D
 =0D
To test it we can write something like=0D
cmdline go one two three four=0D
in a dos box, which would type the lines go, one, two, three and four. An=
d
it did, but in a SwiftForth window.=0D
 =0D
Now, I don't want it to open the Forth window but to emit directly in the
dos window I called the program from. Is it possible? If I use the dosbox
package it will open a different dos box than the one I used to call the
program, but also the SwiftForth box. I don't want the new dos box neithe=
r
the SwiftForth box. How can I do it?=0D
