Re: drag and drop

Dropping a file onto an SF session for inclusion is quite different than
what I need - I want to create a turnkey that can be distributed, onto which
I can drag and drop a file for handling... The question is, when the file is
dropped onto the turnkey, can any parameters be passed, such as filename, so
that the exe can handle tasks on the file?
