Default How do I start a game with command line options?

I cannot get a shortcut to start SE4 using the correct mod path. Any suggestions? I have looked at the example in the history.txt file and cannot seem to make it work right. Thanks.

Check out the "history.txt" file for Version 1.39. It is explained there. It seems simple enough, I just can't make it work right.
