+ <br />Jalview processes arguments on the command line sequentially. If
+ you would like to pass a <a href="jvlfiles.html">'JVL' file</a> containing
+ <a href="../memory.html">memory settings</a> or any other launch
+ parameters, then include it at the beginning of the command line to
+ ensure they are processed before any remaining arguments.
<br>
+ Typical command line execution follows the following pattern:
+ <pre>
+ jalview -open <Alignment File/URL> [additional import arguments] [export arguments]
+ </pre>
