Once I needed to be able to invoke the Revision Graph P4V GUI from
command line, and noticing that P4Win was invoking it, I took a closer
look at the command that P4Win was issuing (using sysinternals.com
"Process Explorer"). I saw something like this:

p4v -win 1234 -cmd "tree //depot/path/file.c"

(the command line also contained the usual -p -u -c switches).

I queried support about it (particularly as "-win 1234" worked on my
Windows host but not on others), and their answer was that this is an
undocumented interface and is not currently supported, but that using
"-win 0" should work for most.

I haven't tried to search for other commands than "tree".
