Subj : Customizing underground weather bbs application

Need to pass State and City (parameters) into the uweather program.

We know the |UC is State and City (BBS user information codes)

Mystic -cfg
Under Editors/Menu Editor/default/main/(W) Weather/
Command (Sub-menu)
Can I choose DD (execute external program) from the menu option and data be: 
/mystic/scripts/xq-uweather/wu.sh summary |UC

Meaning, will it resolve correctly?
For example I need:
/mystic/scripts/xq-uweather/wu.sh summary ohio dayton
Need to pass 3 parameters

If that won't work, how come I can't do this in MPL:

MenuCmd('DD',Patch+'wu.sh summary |UC');

It does not resolve to ohio dayton (for example), it show up as "|UC"!

Odd to me since I see tons of color codes and other stuff with | (pipes) 
working correctly within MPL.

I've been looking for examples of MPL programs passing user information 
codes/parameters. Not having much luck here.

Thanks,
Terry
