2.6 Providing Runtime Parameters to Isis
Sometimes you might want to pass extra information to Isis when you start the
program. You can do so through the Windows graphical user interface or at the
DOS prompt. In both environments, Isis recognizes certain switches, explained
next, as the means for passing the information.
To create a Windows shortcut and add a switch to it:
1. Go to the directory that contains the Isis executable ISIS.EXE and create
a shortcut:
Use the right mouse button to drag ISIS.EXE to the Windows
Desktop.
From the pop-up menu, choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
2. Right-click the shortcut and choose Properties (or choose File
→Properties →Shortcut from the Explorer menu).
3. In the text box called Target, type the executable name ISIS.EXE, press
the slash); then click OK.
See Table 2-1 for the switches you can add to your shortcut.
