I am not hard coding them into the cmd file.  They will be parameters in the
cmd file.

I am creating a Windows GUI  interface which the operator enters the userid
and password to logon, choose the files, the program then uses ShellExecute
to execute the command file and pass the parameters.

The user may choose more than one file.  I don't want the user to re-enter
the passphrase again for every file.  Does this make sense?
