Here is a simple program that helps you access WPS objects from
the command line.  It's pretty straight-forward, but a description
follows anyways.  If you want to send me money, CDs, email,
expensive computer stuff, or anything else interesting, I won't mind.

This program is completely free and not guaranteed to do anything.

NAME
     open - open a Workplace Shell object

SYNTAX
     open [object-id]
     open -s [object-id]
     open -d [object-id]
     open -t [object-id]
     open -i [object-id]
     open -o xxxx [object-id]


DESCRIPTION
     This program allows you to open any WPS object, in any
     view, from the command line.

     The command opens the WPS object specified by object-id,
     which can be any one of the following:

          1) a WPS object-id
             eg. open "<WP_CLRPAL>" (it must be enclosed in
             quotes so that the < and > are not confused with 
             redirection operators)

          2) a relative or absolute filename
             eg. open d:\config.sys
                 open apps\box.ex

          3) a relative or absolute pathname
             eg. open ..
                 open d:\os2\mdos\winos2

     If no object-id is given, the program opens the current
     directory in the specified view.  If no view is specified,
     the default view is used.


     OPTIONS

     -s   opens the object's settings page
     -d   opens the object's details view (if applicable)
     -t   opens the object's tree view (if applicable)
     -i   opens the object's icon view (if applicable)
     -o   opens the view specifed by xxxx
          -s ==> -o Settings
          -d ==> -o Details
          ...etc...
