That's the unix command line option, sorry. It appears that the
Windows version doesn't have an analagous option. However, the
windows options are:
-to The target format of the file
(abw, zabw, rtf, txt, utf8, html, latex)
-verbose The verbosity level (0, 1, 2)
-dumpstrings dump strings strings to file (only on debug builds)
-geometry geom set initial frame geometry
-nosplash do not show splash screen
Note that -verbose doesn't do anything, I don't think.
