Karl,


:Cool.  BTW, I just updated this call this morning...
:
:   Private Declare Function GetCommandLine Lib "kernel32" Alias
"GetCommandLineW" ()
:As Long
[...]

Why does it have to be As Long? From all my documentation, GetCommandLine
returns a LPTSTR (char* in ANSI, wchar_t in Unicode).

Hold on.... I *think* I see it now.

[Return Values]
The return value is a pointer to the command-line string for the current
process.

Is that why?

Bingo.  It returns a pointer.  No API returns a String directly (afaik).

Later...   Karl
