I believe your looking for the  -P "profilename"  parameter.  A list of
Communicator's Command line parameters can be found at

http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/deploymt/options.htm

I don't know if this will work with the stand alone Navigator or not.  The
command line options are categorized by OS.  There may be a different page for
Navigator.  I just found the page Friday, what a coincidence.
