     -K/--config <config file>
          Specify which config file to read curl arguments from.
          The config file is a text file in which command line
          arguments can be written which then will be used as if
          they were written on the actual command line. Options
          and their parameters must be specified on the same con-

          fig file line. If the parameter is to contain white
          spaces, the parameter must be inclosed within quotes.
          If the first column of a config line is a '#' charac-
          ter, the rest of the line will be treated as a comment.

          Specify the filename as '-' to make curl read the file
          from stdin.

          This option can be used multiple times.

(From the curl manual - try curl --manual or http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html)

Subject: -K/--config help

My command is too long for a dos prompt to handle so I'm going to use the
-K/--config combo. I can't find documentation on how to specify what the
-K is pointing to. Can someone give me some assistance?

Thanks.
