The form of the command line for invoking MCS-32 is:

All of the arguments are optional. When the arguments are omitted certain defaults apply for the
initial configuration and library, as described below.
-S file.set Uses file.set for the initial settings. This can include a path
specification. Settings ( .SET ) files can be created with the Save
Settings As... command under the File menu.
-L file.lbr Pre-loads the library file.lib . This can include a path specification.
-J file.job Begins execution of the job file.job immediately. This can include
a path specification.
-M m Selects MCS m . m can be an integer from 0 to 8. If m is 0, the
buffer is selected, otherwise the MCS number which corresponds to
m is selected. The default MCS is the lowest MCS present.
