Check out the [bb]Command[/bb] function in VB help. In summary, Command returns any arguments that appear after the name of the application on the command.

VB programs get disassociated from the console that launches them, so you cannot interect with that console (you CAN create your own console that belongs to your app and dump output in that).

If you can live with a numeric result, you can terminate your program using the TerminateThread API call, which allows you to pass a return code that can be checked with ERRORLEVEL.
