I would like to help, but I do not know what you program must do. I have written
many programs that work in the MS-DOS mode of Windows. As I recall, using a shortcut
was never a bproblem. If you wish to work in the CMD mode, the shortcut to use is
the shortcut to "Command Prompt".
Example: I have a program called "Hello.exe" and it is in the folder C:\BIN I wud
make copy of "command prompt" shortcut, edit it to open in C:\BIN and charge other
things needed.
I do not understan why you want the shortcut to go directly to the hello program.
The hello progam can not take parameters to control the GUI, becaue it is only a
console program. It can not tell the GUI where to place a message. The command shortcut
automatically creates a box in the GUI. When you call a console program without a
consolem you can not have a console. In this case "console" is often called "Ms-Box".
If the purose of the program does not require a lasting visible msbox, then that
would be OK.
The example you gave displays a message the user will not see, unless he is superman,
the console disapears before the message appers.
