maybe have

DWED somefile.txt moreArgs

actually behave like the launcher, deallocate everything and execute

DWED -ReallyDoEdit somefile.txt moreArgs

whereas

DWED -ReallyDoEdit somefile.txt moreargs evenmoreargs

does what the editor is supposed to do.

this way you have the functionality of 2 files with a single file

edited to add:
this assumes some power to control the memory layout of the executable. not exactly easy, but close to impossible for PASCAL programs.
