How to start 5200 cartridge file from command line using Atari800WinPlus4.0?

I know I can use the following syntax to start an "Atari800XL" game from the command line....

atari800win -xl -ntsc -run "C:\Atari800XL\games\game.exe"


...although using the following command line does not result in my Atari5200 cartridge files being loaded:


atari800win -5200 -ntsc -run "C:\Atari5200\games\game.car"


Using the "-5200" parameter does inform the emulator that I want to load an Atari5200 game but the CAR cartridge file does not load.

PS: All my cartridge files play fine when I load them individually via Atari800WinPlus4.0 GUI "Attach Cartridge" menu option

Ok, I figured it out. I should use the "-cart" option rather than the "-run" option.

I had to look into the source code itself to figure it out since the no "help" option works (which I found) from the command line to display the available command line options.
