Hi,
Someone else may have a more definitive answer, but this is a PC-specific
solution for a sample IDL runtime application App.sav:
; Calling IDL runtime with parameters from DOS:
;
; <AppDir> is directory containing App.sav
;
; cd <AppDir>
; C:\RSI\IDL53\bin\bin.x86\idlrt.exe
app,'a-passed-string',parm1=42,/parm2
; ^---------your-path-here---------^
^-ABSOLUTELY-NO-SPACES-ALLOWED-HERE-^
Good luck!

I could be wrong about this, but I don't think you can
pass arguments to a runtime application.
It would certainly be possible for a runtime application
to read, for example, a configuration file that you could
manipulate to get different behavior. But I can't think of
a way to get arguments into the program directly.
Cheers,
David
