Is there a way, under Windows, to click-start Unison and make it synchronize according to a particular profile?

Greg Sullivan sent us the following useful trick: In order to make syncing a particular profile “clickable” from the Win98 desktop, when the profile uses ssh, you need to create a .bat file that contains nothing but “unison profile-name” (assuming unison.exe is in the PATH). I first tried the obvious strategy of creating a shortcut on the desktop with the actual command line “unison profile-name”, but that hangs. The .bat file trick works, though, because it runs command.com and then invokes the .bat file.
