have a command line to start a program as follows...

Program = "C:\Program Files\Program\program.exe"

but want it to send an initial command initially. its
not a file that would execute the program (i.e.,
file.doc
for say ms word) but a command you would enter in the
command line box of the program

once open i would type the comand inp filename

have tried

Program = "C:\Program Files\Program\program.exe inp
filename" but does not work.

any way to do a seperate line for the command

i.e., Program = "C:\Program Files\Program\program.exe"
and then a seperate line "inp filename" or something
like that?
