<h1>Description</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
If you are writing an application or game that allows starting with special  parameters on the command line, you can use this command to retrieve the parameters.

<br />

<br />
For example, you might want to start the program with a debug variable set so  you can track stuff during execution. So, you could offer the ability to run  the executatble with a /debug parameter. If they execute the program with the  parameter, then you can set a flag inside your game.

<br />

<br />
To simulate the command line passing in the editor, select PROGRAM->PROGRAM  COMMAND LINE from the pulldowns and enter a value to be passed at runtime. 

<br />

<br />
See the example.
