Far Manager Tips

Launching external commands

You can launch programs from FAR command line. But if you try to supply any additional arguments, things go wrong. (as of CrossOver 6.0)
Something is broken inside WINE, I suppose.

I've tried to track this bug down here. I've set COMSPEC to wcmd.exe /c echo
C:\Program Files\Far>wcmd
