I "checked that" but I didn't see exactly how to do the command line parameters trick.. could you summarize?

I have to do things one level more tricky: I've used "writeln" to create a script file and I need to run:
PROGRAM arg arg arg arg <SCRIPTFILE
Is that possible? My best guess right now is to do it with an additional
file: create "DOIT.BAT", do a single writeln of teh above line to it, and then runcmd the DOIT.BAT file...

I wanted to trigger a compiled MSched script (screenshot.exe) from within another NON-MSched script (the same way as you would execute it from a commandline, by using additional parameters). As MSched-executables seems not to work with standard parameters (%1 %2 ...) I had a try using a backdoor aka "the clipboard"

a) push the parameters to the clipboard
b) execute the executable
c) the executable takes the clipboards content and separate its content into single parameters/variables
d) be impressed

As MJTNet support seems now back on the track, any bit to say on that request. Thx.
