I think it will be very useful in elma.
for those who doesn't know, command line parameters are certain characters that u add after the adress to the exe file in shortcuts or in dos mode. file associations are when you click a file with a certain ending (like .txt .bmp and so) and it opens the appropriate program and does the needed action with the file you clicked on.
for example :
opening the elma executeable with the parameter /l1 will immediately let you play level 1... opening it with /rec "recname.rec" will just show this rec and close the game right after.
Of course, after applying the parameters, a file associations should be applied...
Clicking a rec file should immediately shoe the rec
Clicking a lev file should open it for playing (and also an action for editing can be good)
Clicking an lgr file should set it to be default and open the game
what do you think?

I'm already working on a program that does the job,but the commands don't work with me (Elma just starts like the normal way)
ELMA.EXE /r 01mopo.rec
ELMA.EXE /l3
I have version 1.11a[/u]

These parameters are NOT in Elma (yet)
