Re: CMD Validity Program Oddity

[Evan Harris <auctionitis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would have expected a Validity Checking program to check whether your
parameters are correct and nothing more.
Are you saying that the Validity Checking program is changing a specified
parameter or altering a default when you press enter or something else ?

If I understand correctly what you are trying to do, a prompt override
program sounds more like a possible answer.

Perhaps you could provide a sample of the command you are running and the
parameters that make it into the program.
