I'm pretty sure this is possible but then again I've never had to do it so it may not be. Is it possible to launch an external app from within a 3DGS game and pass command line arguments to that app? For instance, something like: Code: commandLaunchApp ("myapp.exe 'arg1 arg2'"); Can someone point me to the docs where this type of functionality is detailed, or ideas on how it could be managed? I've looked through the manual, etc. and for some reason I'm not seeing anything like this in there. Thanks!
