Dumb GLQuake queery

[Charlie]

I know a I type this I'm asking something very basic, so be kind & hopefully helpful.

'Thought I'd have a play with GLQuake under WinUAE.....etc.
All runs fine, but how do I pass startup parameters to the program? Or any proggie for that matter....

-Put as tooltypes into GLQuake.info - eg -width 800 or width 800 <- ignored

-Start from console.
either
'this is not an executable' - eg. GLQuake -width 800 -height 600 ...etc.
Fair enough - only an iconx icon not the executable itself.
or
crashes on startup - eg. glquake68k_blitz -width 800 -height 600 ...etc.
It does start, but doesn't finish the initial commands in quake's console window even if no parameters were passed.

What am I misunderstanding/doing wrong?

Maybe this is so basic that people with a genuine Amiga background ( rather than me whose sum total of knowledge comes from messing with emulators ) wouldn't consider documenting the 'how to' hence the reason why I've not found one so far....

Thanks in advance.

Charlie.

PS to avoid another dumb question thread how do I get GLQuake to freelook?

Mouse Look isnt it?

Thanks for the reply to the P.S.

As for my main question....

I know this problem is quite trivial & the answer is probably so simple as to not be worth the effort of an explanation, but *please* help out a person whose whole understanding of AmigaOS is from fiddling with emulators without the help of a manual.

How do I pass command-line parameters under AmigaOS?

Words of one syllable for preference, and no assumptions made in the explanation no-matter how obvious to you would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You need to use 'execute' to start scripts (if they don't have the script protection bit set). So in the shell, you type 'execute GLQuake <params>'.

Thanks v. much, I'll give it a go.
