Is there an easy way to know where the optional icon is saved when compiling the .exe in VDS 4 so that I can use it as a task icon in the program, or can this not be done?

[Tommy]

You could try specifying %0 as filename for the taskicon. I expect the taskicon to show the EXE's icon when compiled.

As usual, you are correct. Did I miss in the help file what the %0 - %9 stand for?

[Mac]

%0 is the path\filename of the VDS program itself.

%1 - %9 are command line parameters passed to the
program.

Example for a "C:\VDS\MYVDS.EXE" command line:

MYVDS.EXE testA testB testC

Inside the program, these vars have these values:

%0 = C:\VDS\MYVDS.EXE
%1 = testA
%2 = testB
%3 = testC

So they are basically equal to DOS switches? That's cool. Thanks!
