Try just: fgldb progname then in the debugger window: run parameter1 parameter2 Sorry,I don't remember whether you can pass parameters to the program in the fgldb command line.

I don't believe you can pass the parameters from the command line -- but adding to the run line as in Octav's example works perfect -- I do it all the time. If they are complicated or long I usually place in a buffer and then paste. I also believe that the debugger will 'remember' the run parameters -- so if you run a second time while still in a single session -- the run command (without parameters) will run with the previous parameters (however, I'm not 100% on this so please test first if you want to use this option).
