Start RBG 7.1 02. From the Main Window, click on Tools 03. Select Launch... 04. Enter File Name.. Parameters.. and click on Wait Until      Finished CheckBox. 05. Click on [Launch]   Enjoy and make sure to have fun!   Very Best R:egards,   Razzak.   P.S. If you need further help, post it on exclusive RBG7-L list.
