This article describes how to cause a dialog box to appear and prompt you for optional parameters when you run an MS-DOS-based program in Windows 95.

To cause a dialog box to prompt you for optional parameters when you run an MS-DOS-based program, follow these steps:

1.	Use the right mouse button to click the program's shortcut, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
2.	On the Program tab, add a space and a question mark to the end of the command in the Cmd Line box. For example, to cause a dialog box to prompt you for optional parameters when you run an MS-DOS prompt, you would modify the Cmd Line box entry to read: c:\windows\command.com ?
3.	Click OK.
