VA_START (0x4711) Server -> Client (11th November 1994)

Using this message a server passes parameters to desk accessories or 
parallel running applications.

An exceptional feature: Thing can receive VA_START messages too. In the 
  command line an individual file or a program (optionally) with 
  parameters can be passed. Installed applications are also taken into 
  account.

Command lines beginning with the ':' character must not be used because 
they are interpreted as internal commands!

  Word 3+4: Pointer to the command line. Objects dragged to icons using
            Drag&Drop require the entire filename, i.e. path, filename 
            and trailing backslash '\' character.
