Can Director pass Windows command line parameters to the application it launches via the Lingo "open" - the technotes say some people have had success with this but don't go into any details...

You should be able to pass the parameter using
Code: 
open
:
Code: 
open parameterToPass with applicationToOpen
... but this may not work (It didn't for me anyway)! Use Buddy API command
Code: 
baShell
instead:
Code: 
baShell(Operation, Filename, Args, WorkDir, State)

Didn't work for me either! I'll check out the BuddyAPI Xtra though, thanks...
