whoa - hold on there . . . (very sheepishly) and very sincerly my apologies Lonkero!!! I did have call had also tried "run" but the number and ORDER of the cmd line args - of which I had additional ones and in different order seem to be the real problem. Just tried with the exact args and the "run" command and it works as I respectfully admit - you probably knew all along - it would. CASE CLOSED - Thank You, Kirk
