Can someone answer this SX question?

wass

I know that this is the wrong place to ask a question about the SX, but.....

I posted what seems to me to be a straightforward question on the SX forum a couple of weeks ago and haven't received any replies. Perhaps someone here can help. Here's the link:

You might try the SX-Key manual V2.0 for a listing of command line switches. And in some cases, the software should be self-documenting via a 'help' function or a '?'.

Look at page 19. It seems you have found nearly all of them already. Also note that the manual advises you to generally avoid using these switches. If you want to do something fancy, you need to use what Windows has to offer in command line programing.

Of coruse I checked the manual and everything I could find on-line before posting. Page 19 is the only explicit reference I could find. SXkley.exe doesn't seem to have a self-documenting command line but the function I'm looking for was referenced by Lauren's comment #2 here:

I'm not exactly sure you got the answer you want. You might send a private message to Lauren if you have questions about bugs in the command line use.

If you just want to locate and separate the command for use as a stand alone loader, I think it is pretty straight forward when using an RS232 port. It might be more of a challenge when using and USB to RS232 adapter, but this really needs to all be done in Windows. If there is a working SXKey.exe, that is about all you likely need.

I received PM's from Parallax staff saying that there is no such option in the released code.
The noted options and bug fixes were in a beta version that was never released.
