Hi Cal,
You can start up a standalone from the commandline with
C:/path/to/standalone.exe param1 param2,...
~/applications/standalone.app param1 param2...
In your standalone you can retrieve the values in $1, $2,... anywhere in your scripts:
put $1 into fld 1
get item 2 of $2
If your standalone is already running, you can use sockets to communicate. Here's http://qery.us/1a2 an example of using sockets for telnet communication. Once you understand how sockets work, you can use them for inter-application communication.
On Mac OS X, you can also use AppleScript:
set myScript to "answer \"hi\""
tell application "Revolution" to do script myScript
Of course, the script limits apply, but if you only want to set the value of a variable, this should be sufficient.
