1. Classic:
   From the Start/Program/hyphenator-Pro/ menu run the Go_hyPro splash program.
   This will accept parameters and also will aid to search and type them (see the "Startup parameters aid" image). Clicking the |GO!| command, these parameters will be passed to the Hypro application, that can open the main Console to the user if the task is not complete in itself; commonly, this com­mand line could ask to load a list of files to be man­aged by the user thereafter.
   If the task is complete, like a global hyphenation com­mand, it will be directly executed on disk without opening any window, according to the command line parameters, settled by the internal defaults or the cus­tom­ized files settings.
   The internal default parameters can be set by the user from the Console.
   If no parameters are given, the GO! command will open to the user the whole work space through the Console: mainly (1) a ListView to manage the se­lected files, (2) a Log Reports frame, (3) a Watch­/Ed­i­tor, all with many special functions.
2. Fast:
   once taken confidence, it deals with passing a string of parameters to the splash program from a prompt command line, either from the DOS prompt or from the Run command of the System Start Menu, as well as from a shortcut filled with fixed parameters to be used until changed (see images to the left).
   This command can be enough to hyphenate any list of files. A simple parameter line could be:




/P C:\mybigsite\*.* /S /H /F:mylist.lst which means: on Path C:\mybigsite\ find all the Web files [matching the internal list of extensions], Sub­di­rect­o­ries included and Hyphenate them. The option /F:mylist.lst allows you to edit a pre-defined list of files, previously saved from with­in the program. Once hyphenated any file, the parameters setting is recorded into a special META tag into the file itself (Web files only) so that, at every new pro­cess, the same options can be used for each one, overlapping the default setting. This function is called by the /O pa­ram­e­ter, as well as by the |auto.Params| button (con­sole Tool Bar) inside the program.


The insertion of the "/K" parameter into the com­mand line will tell the procedure to create one short­cut for the current command, before the ex­e­cu­tion; while its basic entries are consequently set by the application, the user will be prompted for the link name, path and description. Once made, the "/K" string will be removed from that command line, which will be stored for the next sessions, but you will just need to click the icon to execute that task again.
3. Deepening:
   From the main Console default options can be set, and many special actions can be performed on files. To open, run the splash program; you have three choices then:
   • click the |GO!| button to open the Console and define your search and options there;
   • add a parameter line (details) then click the |GO!| button; this will take the Console to start load­ing the specified list of files to be managed;
   • select one parameter line, ready from the list of the previous commands, recorded by the pro­gram; clicking the |command| button will get a quick Help, with every new added command a­head (any command and help line may be de­let­ed by the DEL key).
     Then click the GO! button, as above.

Without the /H parameter the sample line above, as every recorded line, could be set as a shortcut for no splash intermediate step, to access the Console with the focused project already loaded. Do you have many projects? even simpler: add “/” to the Icon's Properties: "path\hyphenator-Pro\Go_hypro.exe", to recall the last used command line, or the row's n# of the line in list.
Then you may ignore the Go splash until you need it to create a new command line or update the program.
