I wasn't using tokenized files. My confusion arose because I was running 'test2' from the IDE without having saved it to a .bas file first. When I did that it did work correctly. I'm running under XP.

Well, I'm still confused, and I can not get my .exe program to work by calling it from my .bas program in the LBB or LB4.5 IDE.

I am depending on the "special variable" CommandLine$ to receive a few characters of information, and apparently, it does not.

Does LBB recognize "CommandLine$" as a 'spercial variable' or not?
I was unable to find it in among the statements, functions, etc.

Should I just communicate by a small file, rather than try to pass parameters along with the call?

Alincon, did my example work for you or not? It works for both Richard and I, and demonstrates exactly how CommmandLine$ works in LBB.

Your programs might not work for any number of reasons. Start with one small step at a time and you should be able to figure it out.

The only significance of that is the setting of your 'default directory' (DefaultDir$). Saving the program sets DefaultDir$ to where you saved it. If you had specified an absolute path to test.exe in the RUN command it would have worked whether the program was saved or not.
