Turing in VB, haha (Shell Commands)

-----------------------------------

I want to make a sort of "autorun" for my compsci final project. I want to make it a real quick and easy thing, but I want it to be able to open the source of my turing file. How would I use a shell command to open a turing file in the turing development tool, coded in visual basic?

-----------------------------------

first of all you would use the shell command

the for your turing source code find where the editor is and then find if it has any command line args usually done through a command line (cmd or command.com) with the argument /?

so you would type
[turing interpreter] /?
to find the arguments and i think that it might be /o to open so the vb code would look like
Shell("[location of your turing interpreter] /o [your turing file]

hope this helped
