command line options for mdi based app

[new to c++]

how can i add a function to my mdi app so that if the user types in say:
twice.exe textfile.txt /print
that it will load textfile.txt and begin printing the file.
if anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx.

"main" has parameters, argc and argv, that contain char * to the strings from
command line and how many. You then parse these to see which options were
used. they are seperated at typed spaces.

You have to read these into main this way , but you can send them off to
another routine from there...
