The documentation is a bit overpowering, but it doesn't look too hard.

No.
I put all my parameters, but 1 in the .ini file, but if I include any in the shortcut to ZTreel.exe it locks up. I guess it is stuck in the ContinueReadSwitches loop.

/? works, so this may not be correct, it could be the %_CMDLINE in:-
ztw.exe %_CMDLINE %%Switches%% /T" %%CONSOLESTRING%%"

Don't panic about fixing it. I will probably have a go myself, if I get time.

Incidentally I was quite impressed.
I had assumed, from the earlier postings, that this was some kind of new shell.
The loader runs, but once it has launched ZTree there is no sign of it (except ZTW.EXE is not running as a process under explorer).

I am mainly using it to set environment variables. It occurs to me that it would be easy to write a dedicated launcher that would load environment variables and spawn ZTree as a Process. (But I don't want to get started on another project.)
