 Beep(a,b);
 }

  int main(int argc , char *argv[]){
  for (int i = 0; i < argc;i++) 

  printf("arg %d: %s\n", i, argv[i]); 
  
  system("pause");
  
  return 0;
  }

You could use cin.get(); .

In order to use that you need to make a character or string variable and pass through some parameters in the get() function call.

[EDIT] If you are making a list of indpendent programs where one program is named beep.exe the other main.exe you could make beep.exe be called simply by using the system functions, then you could pass a second parameter to call what command. This is a unusual way of programming and may cost you in the end when space comes into play.

For example: [Psuedo Code]
system(Call program name here) && Add string to program;
or
system(Call Program Name). Pass string to program;

Kinda buggy, the only reason I won't provide you with a straight answer is because there is a Google out there for probably a better method.

Yeaa... ermm...
I forgot to mention, I was a bit tired once I woke up and rushed to school.

char variable ="prog.exe beep(222,222,222)"

or

if (varible=="prog.exe beep(222,222,222)" )

in any case, string would fit better, so you might have to make the varible into a string. But use gogeta's refrence for more help. I am still in a rush so really cant explain it in details and every piece of info you need is on that site or google.
