Command-line parameters

You can pass additional instructions to Atlantis when it is launched by adding parameters to its command-line. For example, if you add the "-fs" parameter to the command-line of the Desktop shortcut of Atlantis:

it will always launch Atlantis in the Full screen mode.

You can launch custom command-lines by pressing Windows KeyR, through batch files, or using corresponding features of file managers or other applications.

The command-line of Atlantis can contain document filenames to be opened by Atlantis, and additional switches. For example, the following command-line instructs Atlantis to open three document files:

awp.exe C:\Doc01.rtf D:\Doc02.doc E:\Doc03.docx

The command-line switches must be preceded by a dash "-" or a slash "/".

The following table lists the switches that can be used in the command-line of Atlantis:
