The following table shows the startup commands in Presentations.

Startup switch          Action executed
==============          ===============

Prwin12.exe File.shw    Starts Presentations and opens a previously saved presentation;
                        File.shw specifies the filename, including extension, of the presentation.
                        If the filename has a space in it, type the full path of the file, enclosed in quotation marks.
                        For example, if the filename is Testfile.shw, the startup switch is Prwin12.exe C:\Testfile.shw.
                        If the filename is Test File.shw, the startup switch is Prwin12.exe "C:\Test File.shw."

Prwin12.exe File.shw /s	Starts Presentations and opens a copy of previously saved presentation;
                        File.shw specifies the filename, including extension, of the presentation.
                        If the filename has a space in it, type the full path of the file, enclosed in quotation marks.
                        For example, if the filename is Testfile.shw, the startup switch is Prwin12.exe C:\Testfile.shw /s.
                        If the filename is Test File.shw, the startup switch is Prwin12.exe "C:\Test File.shw" /s.

Prwin12.exe /l XX       Starts Presentations and uses the specified interface language, if present.
                        XX specifies the two letter name of the interface language to use.
                        For example, the code CE indicates English-Canada.
