xcall MIAMEX, MX_CLFLAGS, opcode, clflags1 {,clflags2}
MX_CLFLAGS allows you to determine which command line switches were specified when A-Shell was launched, and to effectively set the flags that are associated with these switches.
Parameters
opcode (Num) [in]
0 to query the current command line flags or 1 to set them.
clflags1 (Num) [in/out]
will either return the current command line flags (if opcode is 0) or supply the new switch settings (if opcode is 1). The flags and corresponding switches are listed in the following tables. Omitted values have been reserved for internal use and are of no interest to applications. Switches that make no sense to set at runtime (i.e. most of them) are marked "RO" for "read only". Note that there are two sets of flags (clflags1, clflags2) because there were too many to fit in one set.

Comments
Note that when setting the command line flags, you have to set them all at once. To set just one, first retrieve the current flags and then OR in the flag you want to set, and then use opcode 1 to set the entire collection of flags. Note that when updating the flags (opcode 1), if the clflags2 parameter is not specified, those flags are left untouched.
Refer to the documentation on the Command Line Switches for more information about what these switches do.
