I have run in to a little problem !

Say I wan't start a program 'fun' from my betaprogram, so I use the
BETA-processmanager and I write  something like this :

                        OnMouseDown::
                                         (# do (if DoubleClick then
                                                  'fun' ->
mpgProcess.init;
                                                   mpgProcess.start;
                                               if);
                                         #);

Where the program 'fun' is placed in the same dir  where I run my
beta-program.
Now I want to start the external program with an argument, fx 'fun
Onthis'. How is that done. I can't seem to get it right from the
procesmanager.bet file. I don't know what to write !

Thanks, Bo
