lets say I have a program that needs command arguments. It's saved as "program" (yes I know thats a lame name)

local prg = fs.open("program", "r")
local stuff = loadstring(prg.readAll())
stuff()

how could I pass the command arguments to a program loaded this way? Or is it impossible?

Why not use shell.run() ?

The program I am making... is complicated. https://github.com/K...is/waypoint.lua

Anyone that wishes to contribute can make a pull request

local prg = fs.open("program", "r")
local stuff = loadstring(prg.readAll())
prg.close()

stuff({ "arg1", "arg2" })

Not sure whether that would work but it makes sense to me. Also, you should always close your files. The garbage collector does take care of it but it takes a while for it to take care of it.
