There is no way to pass information from a batch file to an XPL
program. But, you could open a text file and read the value of
each line and set a specific set of actions for each line.

Another alternative here is just to create a set of XPL
instructions to load a set of files based on user input. This
would be roughly comparible to the multi-config option in DOS 6.
This would require you to group the files you might need loaded
at the same first, then prompt the user for which set to load,
then load it. You could add this to the
STARTUP.INT. Each time you started XyWrite, you would get a
prompt asking you which set of files you wanted to load.
