That's actually a separate problem from the one Paul and I are 
talking about, one that I'm not even going to *try* to solve.  (Being 
as I already have, and failed miserably.)  Hell, I'm not sure Windows 
even has a way to *tell* whether your app was launched from the 
command line or otherwise.  I couldn't find one for Win2K, anyway; 
there might be a way to do it in XP and Vista.
