is it possible to pass information to programs made in darkbasic at startup?

e.g. in medal of honour, to activate the cheats you put

MOHAA -thereisnomonkey -cheats=1
(or something like that)

in dbpro you get a special command called cl$() which contains the arguments. I assume it is same in db classic

No, I think ther is an execute program comand with will execute a program with parameters.

And if a function has "$()" at the end you can be sure it will return a string!

You are the th person to view this signature.
Programmers don't die, they just Gosub without return....
