How are you calling your program?

Can you at least see "Hello, World!"?

Everything looks correct. If you don't see the arguments, I bet you did not enter any. Perhaps you don't know what is it; this is the only explanation I can think of. Your comment "arguments: A B C D" looks suspicious: what makes you thinking that the arguments are "A B C D"?

So, make sure you understand it; please read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_argument#Arguments[^].

Ignore all these rules of using -, / or anything like that. To be shown by your code, it could be any string entered after the name of the file of your main executable module of your application assembly.
