I have a few things that I need done on my S60.

1) Where is the entry point of the application? In the "Handle" function, i.e. 'EikStartApp' or something similar?  I need the point where I can begin calling functions and using variables right after everything has been initialized.

2) Using the Command Line API's at this entry point, do I need to parse the argument string myself?

3) I'm assuming that the Command Line API's work if an application is not running. Is it possible to pass arguments to a running application? How can I communicate to a running application?

Thanks in advance.

There is no handler like "everything has been constructed". You can try to add some code at the end of your AppUi::ConstructL method. This may be a good starting point, but it really depends on what you want to achieve.

Again, there is several different way of notifying a running application and the Command Line is definitely not the way to proceed. You should probably tell a little bit more about what you exactly want to achieve.
