> awaits another drop on its icon (or File menu Convert command) or
> simply closes. This is mainly for the Mac but it would be handy if
> worked on the PC as well.

> I tried using the $0, $1 command line parameters, but they simply
> return the name of my standalone program, not the file dropped onto
> its icon.

> Any ideas please?
