Issue
I'd like to launch a new Hyper instance, with a particular command running inside it, as opposed to the default shell. In particular, I'd like to use NeoVim-inside-Hyper as an external editor for another application.
Both of these provided basically no information about the arguments with which Hyper itself may be launched:
C:\Users\ec\AppData\Local\hyper\Hyper.exe --helpC:\Users\ec\AppData\Local\hyper\app-2.0.0\resources\bin\hyper.cmd --help
I was expecting something like this:
C:\Users\ec\AppData\Local\hyper\app-2.0.0\resources\bin\hyper.cmd -c "nvim %FILENAME%"

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows invocation using Hyper.exe and resources/bin/hyper.cmd with the requested command arguments. Trace how Hyper currently handles process startup and determine the supported argument behavior; done means a new Hyper instance can launch the requested command, including the NeoVim use case, from another application.
