[cw-discuss] Question about Crossover for Mac Beta

[Kenneth Benoit]

OK - That worked for me, at least when I typed this into the "Run" 
dialog box:

c:\\Program Files\\WinBUGS14\\WinBUGS14.exe /par script.txt

There was also a button in the dialog box to "Create icon" which I 
chose, but it was not clear where the "icon" then went.  If it is an 
icon visible to the Mac Finder ,however, then I should be able to 
execute it with the "open" command and have it include the command-line 
arguments.

That is what I ultimately need in any case.  Thanks for the help!
