To tell you the truth, I just avoid them altogether...  I'd rather just set 
the variable and then run the program.  The only time I ever found passed 
parameters useful was back in 6.5 days when you wanted to type something like 
"run program.rmd using '1' "  as the eep to run in a form.   I had it 
happen too many times where the parameters had not been cleared and my program 
got confused on which to use -- usually caused by some previous programmer not 
clearing variables, so it was up to me to clear them before doing the 
"run".  I'd rather just avoid it.
