Salut Jean-Yves,

Poseidon the father of gambas, raised gambas-components for that.

And that is what I do. My programs are compiled as components, so I can
use them as program, embed then in other programs or just call them from
an other program.
To unify the args[], all these programs have a String[]Array PROPERTY
called CallingArgs[] in which I fill at start up the Application.Args. 
Now I can overwrite it at the caller.

Here an Example.

PUBLIC SUB btnPrint_Click()
DIM args AS String[]
DIM $TheCalledTwo AS FViewer		
   IF NOT IsNull($TheCalledTwo) THEN $TheCalledTwo.close()
   $TheCalledTwo = NEW FViewer  <-- calling the FViewer-Component which
 				has a Form and can be called 
   'txtFile.Text
   TRY $TheCalledTwo.CallingArgs.Clear()
   args = gettingArgusPreview()
   $TheCalledTwo.CallingArgs = args <-- filling the args[]
   $TheCalledTwo.Show		    <-- and make visible	
END
 
Have fun
Charlie
