I think that you are right about that -A1 being used by the software... A0 is probably the first processor and A1 the second. But is this a switch which is common to all XP programs, or is it part of the prime search command structure? Ah, yes, I remember it now...the first SIX characters! I was trying eight. I was lost with "Stone Soup Group"! John W. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul N.

The key to this setup was to run a second copy of the software with a "-A1" command line argument. Now I don't know if the "-A1" is part of the prime search software or part of the Command Line structure of XP Pro... so far I havn't been able to find this out.
I would suspect that the "-A1" on the command line is used by the software as a value being passed to it to be acted upon.
How can I use CMD to navigate through long file names, by abreviating with ~~~'s ? Anybody?
To be able to use the abbreviated short form of long file names, you usually use the first six characters of that name followed by the tilde character and a single digit. (If there are any spaces/blanks in the first six characters, do not count or use them.) For example, to get to the directory path of: C:\Documents and Settings\
you would use this for the short form:
C:\DOCUME~1\
The problem occurs if there are two or more folders/files beginning with the same six characters. Then you need to know whether to use a "2", "3", "4", etc. as the single digit. The folders/files are usually numbered by the order in which they were initially added to the drive.
