Create a .pf file, I am calling it connect.pf, containing something similar to:

# connect to db using a .pf file
-db dbname

along with any other startup parameters that you might desire and then reference the .pf file on your command line or in the properties of your shortcut:

mpro -pf connect.pf

The PF file is a simple text file with all relevant database connection parameters, e.g.

-db c:\full\path\to\database

or

-db databasename (no .db)
-H hostname or IP address
-S portnumber or portname

Then you start the client with

prowin -pf pffile.pf
prowin32 -pf pffile.pf
_progres -pf pffile.pf
